If you or anyone you know has epilepsy, make sure that you have some type of rescue medication available, or a plan. A lot of kids now receive prescriptions for Valtoco, which is intranasal diazepam. Absorption is rapid and it's not as embarrassing to use as Diastat, so use in a public place isn't as embarrassing.
Any seizure that lasts more than a few minutes is a medical emergency, as status epilepticus can cause lasting damage. |

Basically, you want to stop seizures as soon as you can. If they are prolonged, patients can enter a state called status epilepticus, where they can't stop seizing. To avoid that, patients will have a rescue medication that will stop the seizure. The simplest way to think of it is a seizure is your brain stepping on the gas to the point you lose all control of the car. The rescue med is the brake. Most rescue meds are benzos. Since a layperson can't start an IV on a seizing patient, you need a device to get benzodiazepines into their blood stream as fast as possible. For many years, people used a rectal gel called Diastat, but it's not always easy to jam an applicator up someone's ass and hold their cheeks shut. Thus, intranasal devices are more widespread now. |

That's based on ChatGPT. I don't know the specifics for all LLMs. If you're just using them to create the documents with no need for current information research involved there's no difference. There's a brave new world coming. Buckle up! |

Crap. I started getting ocular migraines a couple of years ago. Only happens about once every 6 months or so, but now you have me worried that I'm going to start having seizures.

I can only imagine the hell your battle buddies got trying to help you.
Everyone has something they wish they didn't. Makes sense we all learn a little from it. Constructing a sentence doesn't have to be yours though Mr. Feels... |
