So are people studying and/or counseling on the impacts of elective brain surgeries?

Haven't needed to so long as I have a carnivorous breakfast. The 2x vision was the reason I switched from trileptal, however. It was just intolerable.

Nope, she (RIP) just loved rough-housing in her youth. Highly problematic when wearing a thin, summer shirt cuz I took blood thinner and could bleed out from a paper cut . . . well, try and stand up with a cat on your back w/out blood-staining a nice shirt.

lacosamide is a godsend, but I get terrible 2x vision w/out high-protein and fat serving (whole milk yogurt, brkfst sausage, etc) B4 taking it. But this is strictly a morning phenomenon. Trileptal was even worse.

Eye-patch was useful to stop 2x vis. when it was temporary.

So this Massachusetts resident was just admiring the rhododendron flowers but did not see EVEN ONE species of pollinator, or any insect species at all. I guess all those eco-fascist academic types must have gotten something right.

011: Cerebral Palsy with Trevor Harris - The Brain Ablaze Epilepsy Podcast In this very special episode, we welcome up-and-coming comedian Trevor Harris to discuss his fight with Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy.

DYK nearly half of all people with Cerebral Palsy also live with #Epilepsy? #CP is caused by brain damage or abnormal development, often before or around birth.

Listen as @patchcomedy310.bsky.social describes his life as a comedian navigating both conditions:

When you’re used to being the center of the universe, equality feels like oppression—and accountability feels like persecution.

Republican panic.

no literally 😭😭😭

Night-time highway driving has never triggered me, but the strobe-light experience of fast & heavy traffic is worth being mindful of. It gives me a sense of tension. Forested areas with the sun low in the sky in winter can also have strobe effects at >20 MPH

Yeah, though certainly not the deepest.

Be careful about too much detail in too short a time - might lose some friends.

Stigmatization is just so high, yet covert. I didn't realize how awful it was until involved in publishing about epilepsy. Publishers have lottery-style give-aways at websites. Books on mental ill get 20 X the interest as books on E. 400 sign ups f/mi books vs 11 for Ep books in some cases.

However, that doesn't in and of itself, pertain to possibilities of modern food processing and vaccines stimulating seizures (which I am also skeptical of). Strobe lights can trigger seizures. They certainly did not exist hundreds of years ago.

animals can have seizures, so basically forever. However, the mortality rate must have been quite higher before a significant level of altruism evolved, and life expectencies must have been dramatically lower.

I walked out of a NYC Ivy League school with PhD totally eclipsed by a deep and enduring hatred of my thesis topic and my profs.

Wondered if I should submit deception for peer-review. Would dance around porch door - standard communication. Then, when bipedal slave arose from seat, she'd run to food dish in next room. Sounds trivial, but actually is not.

Very sadly one departed due to stomach cancer @ 10 yo. The other of FIV @ 9 :( . FWIW, cancer victim was only 1 that I knew to engage in out-right deception - very rare @ cognitive level.

Hard not to think of getting pissed as being a side effect of a sense of justice - royal wrath (or whatever the term).

Sniffing out Emotions in Epileptic Brains Can emotional cognition be mapped to the left or right side of the cerebrum using the sense of smell?

disgusting and the list really says it all

Not much help for those w/out computer, b/for those folk for whom the Embarrassment and his administration have nothing but contempt, DeepL is a great free translator to help weather the sh*t sh*w

and yet people want to hear nothing about it (vs any other disease you can think of)
