My dad had another seizure yesterday, it sucks, but since he has epilepsy i've kind of gotten used to them.
oh i'm so sorry kid it must be really hard going through this so often lots of health to your dad, ok?
aww thats not good, my sister and mum are epileptic, you do kind of get use to the fits but its not easy seeing someone you love having a fit. does he have them lots my sister has one every few weeks but the docs just increased her tablets and she has calmed down a bit which is good. hope your ok though xxx
it is scary to watch someone we love to go through them, even if we are used to them. i have two friends with epilepsy...and its no fun to watch.
my freinds crack alot of jokes about epilepsy but they don't understand what it's like to experience a loved one having a seizure.
Heh, and I bet they don't know what it's like to experience having a seizure either. I haven't had one in four years... I don't even take any meds anymore.
I'm sorry your dad had a seizure. It is a terrifying thing to see. One of my children had some seizures as an infant and toddler and it was absolutely terrifying, because you can do nothing while it is going on but murmer to them that it is going to be alright. Blessings to you and your dad. Is he OK today? Did he sleep? My dd would sleep like a rock after a seizure.
My grandmother had sezuires often. My mother could relate to you. Once she had a sezuire and fell and hit her head on a cabinet (or counter, or some shart edged peice of furniture) and had to go to the hospital. I've never had a seziure myself, and I really push it with the colorful video games too.
I don't get seizures anymore, but I black out sometimes... especially when I eat or smoke some drugs.
He's fine now, he was a bit disoriented, but hasn't broken through to another one yet, so we think he'll be alright.
I'm so sorry sweetie. That's got to be totally tough on you. My husband saw me have 5 grand mal seizures within a few hours time the day after I gave birth to our twins while in the hospital. I had been having severe complications from the pregnancy in which case I ended up seizing. Though those were the only times besides once when I was an infant and experienced a febrile seizure, I have been on Dilantin for 2 years. 500mg a day actually. I just saw my neuro 2 weeks ago and he is very slowly going to try and wean me off of the med since he feels that my seizures were pregnancy related and I'm not likely to have a repeat, but I'm scared to death of going off of it. I've dropped down to 400mg daily for about a week now, but I'm having panic attacks like crazy, afraid that I'll have another seizure even though chances are I'll be alright. I can understand how it must be hard on you to witness your father going through such a scarey thing. I know my husband was terrified, and I know I was terrified once I regained consciousness in the ICU and found out what had happened. That was 2 years ago, and I'm still a nervous wreck. Big hugs to you sweetheart...
my son can relate, as he has baby-sat me through many grand mals an petit mals. He's says its weird, but they don't scare him anymore. I'm through with meds, so we all live with a "short" or two a month. My husband calls them shorts because I explained them as a short circuiting of information.
epilepsy just sucks..... yeah..... that's what I've got to say about that...... I want to be able to drive again....... and grand mals suck......
