Speaking of which, in regards to epilepsy, I’ve got a PSA!

bittergrapes:

If you have a seizure disorder, do NOT drink Monster energy drinks. They contain L-Carnitine, which can trigger seizures in epileptics. I found this out the hard way after a few sips caused an hour-long lockjaw seizure.

Again, if you have been diagnosed with a seizure disorder, or have ever had a seizure, do not drink Monster energy drinks or anything else which contains L-Carnitine. 

Interesting conflict of interest for my body: L-Carnitine is the only thing that’s ever worked for my muscle weakness. But I’ll keep a lookout for seizures when I use it now. (I used to usually get it just by eating a lot of beef when I could, but now if have to buy it as a supplement and stick it in a drink since I can’t eat anymore.)
