First timer and desperately needing help
Mon, 12/19/2016 - 19:58Alright, so I've become romantically involved with someone for the past 4 months who has epilepsy. She seems to have absence epilepsy and often after a really bad seizure her mentality reverts to that of a 9 yr old. We've been having major success with cbd oils and aromatherapy with frankincense and other essential oils. My issue is that whenever I'm at work and she has a major seizure no one is there to help her. She often falls during these times and its getting worse. I'm grateful that I have a boss that is very understanding and let's me leave my job to attend her. I feel like she needs care 24/7, and I'm willing to do that if that's what it takes. I'm wondering how other caregivers are doing this?
If she is having fall down

If she is having fall down type seizures she needs to get on a new med via her neurologist asap. There are a variety of drugs for this. Small seizures are not a big concern this type is. Please help her to understand this. A status type seizure, uncontrollable, could result if these are left unchecked. Herneurologist, not an advisor will know what to do.
