New Here...Have Questions regarding husbands epilepsy.
Mon, 09/07/2009 - 13:17Hi my name is Lisa and I'm hoping someone out there can help me out with some questions regarding my husband epilepsy.
My husband had a grand maul seizure about two years ago and was then diagnosed with epilepsy. His is currently on medication and has not had any more seizures (thankfully) but he has these episodes (for a lack of a better word) where he can function normally as far as walking, driving and working around the house but the problem is with his speech. I will ask him a question and he understands me but the answer are a little off and he seems to struggle with finding the right words. And on a few occations the words are jibberish and I will ask him did you hear what you just said and most of the times he said yes he did hear it.
This isnt some thing that happens a lot in fact since the first seizure over the last two years Id say its happend maybe three times. The last time was this weekend and it was over about a day and a half period.
Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be his medication isnt strong enough?
I would appricate any help. I'm kind of freaking out about this and I dont have any real support as far as friends and family and I know no one else with epilepsy.
Thank you,
Lisa
