My husband suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage at the end of December 2006 and as a consequence has contracted epilepsy! He was discharged from hospital at the beginning of May and they discontinued his sodium valporate. He had a grand mal seizure at the end of May, which freaked me out more than all the rest of the happenings over the past traumatic six months. I can quite see why the ancients could be forgiven for thinking that was epilepsy was the result of demonic possession. My husband is now back on the sodium valporate 400mg per day, which the neurologist informs us is a low dose. She would like to increase it but my husband doesn't want this. He has agreed that should, heaven forbid, he has another seizure then he will accept a higher dose. I live in dread of him fitting again, but of course I don't want to wrap him in cottonwool, even if he would let me.
How do others cope with their loved one's epilepsy?
