Ive been going out with my boyfriend for six years now and two and a half years ago he developed epilepsy (he's 30 now). He wasnt diagnosed until his second seizure and has been on 2* 300mg of Epilium each day. he has had a total of 6 seizures (all grand mal) now with them roughly been 6 months apart. All have happened at night except one which occured just after he woke up.
his medication levels in his blood have been taken after his last two seizures and they were very low... he has definately been taking his tablets and doctors believe his body is breaking it down far quicker than it should. they have now upped his medication to 400mg in morning and again in evening.
Each Grand mal seisure has been getting slightly worse. for example last time he came around after the confusion wore off to a really bad headache to which he was vomiting from . These seizures are at night and Im on my own when they happen and it really scares me.
Does anyone have any advice or feedback for me? also do most people still drink alcohol like normal with epilepsy??
Thanks so much in advance guys xx
