Husband and partial seizures

What sort of partial seizures does your husband have?  Are they complex partials like I have that leave him unable to remember the time when they happen?  As a child my family tried to tell me, "you just had a seizure" and did some strange things.  I couldn't accept their foolish testimonies.  It was hard to accept the idea that I could briefly go unconscious and then be back again. I think it just took time and many seizures for me to realize that I do have lapses.  Nobody could prove it to me.  I don't remember when I began accepting the reality of these seizures.  Maybe it "helped" that I went through so many generalized seizures that I became very familiar with being out and unconscious.  It also helps me to understand how these complex partials and other seizures are possible.   I have partial seizures that I am aware of which occur in my right temporal lobe which have an impact on the emotional center of the brain.  And then when partial seizures occur in the left temporal lobe they interfere with my memory / language center and cause complex partials.  If your husband cannot accept his seizures then I imagine it will be very difficult to get into any of these details of seizure types and locations.  As horrible as this may sound I hope your husband can have a few safe seizures that help him come to grips with what is happening. One thing that is very helpful in the treatment of epilepsy is for a patient or caregiver to keep careful track of seizures, medications, and any other details that one thinks is related.  Doctors rely heavily upon this information in a patient's treatment.  Hopefully one day your husband will be willing and able to support you in his treatment.  I will think about this some more and let you know if I have any more ideas.Mike
