Yeah, feels like I got hit with a lightning bolt in the chest and head while seeing a flash of light just as I start getting relaxed. I assumed it was a general type seizure since my body jerks with it (myoclonic?) but hadn't considered it could be focal. It used to only happen rarely when I was really stressed, but after Lyme and a couple concussions it started trending to an almost every night thing. Why must sleep be so complicated and necessary shakes fist

My neuro is still trying to figure out why I sometimes have seizures when trying to fall asleep or when I become deeply relaxed. There's definitely something to dopamine dysfunction and epilepsy, so this music-seizure connection is interesting. Usually dopamine is neuroprotective though, for example in the case of tramadol induced seizures https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10915818177536...
Lately I've been feeling lucky if I so much as obtain a new/functioning product when I resort to buying anything on Amazon, such as the protein powder I attempted to buy from (apparently) the only place online that would ship to my location. I mean, typically you don't really want "used" protein powder anyway, but when it shows up on your doorstep "new" with the bag partly open and powder exploded all over the box plus some hastily applied Amazon-branded tape somewhat covering the hole in the bag, I'm left with an ominous feeling about the entire operation's quality control. The clerk who assisted with my return told me she's seen people send used sex toys back... Are they now up someone else's ass?? I can only imagine.
