Hi There.
I am new to message boards so you will have to excuse me if my etiquette is not up to scratch!!
I was wondering if anyone could help me or give some advice regarding my partner. He has been suffering from seizures since January 2007. He has no previous history of seizures or epilepsy and the seizure he suffered was classified as "Grand mal". Since this date he has suffered 3 more seizures. He often has spells when he becomes vague and distant. Since his first seizure, he suffers from excruciating headaches and migraines and is generallynot the same person he was before this happened. He has become withdrawn and is suffering badly from the fact that we are still not sure what is causing these seizures. Fortunately, all of his tests have come back negative for brain damage or injury. However, after his last seizure approx a month ago, a nurse has suggested that a problem with his neck could be causing the headaches and seizures. Could this be true? I am in the process of trying to research as much as possible on the net regarding this theory and would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this theory or guide me to a site that could help.
Many many thanks for taking the time to read this and any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Best Regards
