Hi everyone,
I'm new and my husband, who hopefully will be joining soon, was recently diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy with generalized seizures.
Anyway, he has had 2 seizures, one in July, in Canada, and one in October, at home in Ohio I witnessed the one in July after it started, he had tonic clonic movements, and was unresponsiove for about 10 minutes, then had a post ictal stage, and slept for 2 hours after we returned from the hospital. We went to the E.R. they did nothing in Canada. So when we returned home to Ohio in October, we saw the family Dr. and he had a Ct scan and EEg...both negative. We then saw a Cardiologist, and he ordered a tilt table test, and during the test, my husband fainted. They had no idea why, it wasn't a seizure.
So, that's one question...why fainting on the tilt table?
So, here we are now, he had an 72 hour ambulatory EEg, and was diagnosed, and placed on dilantin.
His last seizure was October 13th. When can he resume driving?
We live in Ohio.
Thanks.
(I'm just full of questions!)
