Intentionally vague use of “emergency situation” to encourage people to share. If you handle emergency situations as a profession, what’s a particularly interesting one.

    My kid is Non-verbal autistic with epilepsy. One day he had an appointment with his neurologist. We are walking down the apartment stairs, mother in front I’m behind. He goes into a seizure. I catch him and hold his head between my legs so he doesn’t hit his head on the cement steps.

    Suddenly my phone rings, it’s my sister. We are not no-contact but rarely talk so it must be important so I answer. Her first words as I’m holding a child actively seizing between my legs were “hey, so mom broke her neck”…

      The very high fat low carb diet has had some success with seizures, it gives the person’s brain an alternative fuel source in ketones

      It works best if it’s mostly meat and mostly meat fat

        He has 9 doctors and regularly gets everything from blood work to eegs done. I get health advice from trained professionals not random people on the internet.
