    Energy loss after minor seizure

    Cannabis is a no go, even with a prescription/medical recomendation. I work in security, zero tolerance for all officers. No exceptions.

    Energy loss after minor seizure

    I take 2000mg of magnesium a day, along with 500mg potassium glutamate, could add a few more supplements in there as needed.

    Energy loss after minor seizure

    The title pretty much explains it all, but here goes anyway. Background: I have an unusual seizure condition, not epilepsy, that causes violent, persistent Tonic seizures in various parts of my body. I have had these since I was 8, accompanied by a constant headache that feels like a balloon...

    Blood pressure variations and problems

    The trouble with headaches is it is very easy to think its something HUGE, when its fairly minor. Keep that in mind as I run down the list of what could be going on. Highest probability: Tension Headache, likely caused by something along your neck/head. Test the ligaments and muscles with a...

    Blood pressure variations and problems

    Blood contains more than just red blood cells though. Sure, for a few hours after donating blood your BP will be lower, maybe a day, tops. Doctors once tried this with me, it got old very fast. The body compensates for the blood loss by increasing production of blood plasma and the various...

    My full name is Jean Luc, shortened to Luc because my twin brother(fraternal) is Jean Paul, and people kept getting us confused in school with all the "Jean's". 5th grade teacher changed it to "Luke" and it stuck. The mad part I was always making things, and since i also had a million visits...

    What is the board's take on diet sodas?

    jn.nutrition.org/content/early/2012/05/02/jn.111.149575.full.pdf Took some digging, remembered it from a while back. Final conclusion is preference for sugar/sweet develop while young, but context is very important for each subject. Probably one of the reasons studies on this subject are so...

    What is the board's take on diet sodas?

    **Tried to write this up on my phone, didn't work** The most common artificial sweetener found, and bought in stores, is Splenda, thanks to its marketing campaign. But what you are actually getting in each little packet is 1 part Sucralose, and 600 parts *filler*. To achieve this level of...

    What is the board's take on diet sodas?

    The chemist in me chimes in...... The biggest associative aspect with artificial sweeteners is the desensitzing of taste buds to sugars. When your body becomes used to something that is up to 10,000x sweeter per volume than Glucose, Dextrose and Fructose, things sweetened by natural sugars...

    Hey guys, I'm a Geek, here to learn

    #1 its a wave because under relativistic physics ALL energy exists in wave form when released, so its a wave under that presumption. Its how it behaves as a particle that makes it weird, because it can bounce off other particles without losing its shape or energy. It takes a Heck of alot of...

    Hey guys, I'm a Geek, here to learn

    That one is simple, but get ready for your head to explode..... Okay, so first off, there are two train of though, one is the relativistic(Einstein / most mainstream physicists), where the photon behaves like a wave because its pure energy with perfect cohesion, meaning it doesnt fall apart or...

    Hey guys, I'm a Geek, here to learn

    Hey guys, My nickname is Luke, feel free to call me that, or newb, noob, any combination really. I am going to be very open about my self and low skill level. I'm probably the last person who thought he would chose this, and my family likely thinks the same thing, but I'm not happy as I am...
