Living with someone with epilepsy.

Mon, 02/09/2015 - 21:58
Hello everyone. My 17 year old has epilepsy and I'm concerned that she would have seizures in her sleep. She has her own room and sleeps alone. Does anyone have any suggestions besides me getting up 10 or more times a night to check on her?

Hi I have Grand Mal seizures

Hi I have Grand Mal seizures that are not often.  What I want to ask is how often are they? I lived at home with my parents and brother.  I had my own room and he did too.  My parents were on top of it and made sure I took my medication because every time the doctor wanted to reduce my med I would go into a seizure.
