My husband had a grand mal seizure in November, his first one, and was taken to A&e, and he bit his tongue, he was in absolute agony with it too, he is on Epilim and vitamin b strong and thiamin tablets. On New Years day he had 3 more GMS's and was taken to A&E. He is a draughtsman and works on site, so he needs to drive, this hasnt been a problem so far as there are no site jobs on agenda at the moment, but when there is, I am so worried that the company might sack him, I have told him to tell them that I will drive if needbe!! It has come as such a shock to all the family (we have 3 children)
Andy stopped taking his medicated before christmas, and kept saying he felt ok, well of course this must have been why the seizures kicked in. He does like a drink and was advised to cut down to 4 or 5 cans a night, which still sounds alot to me. He had a brain scan and they said it seeme ok but we have an appointment to see the neurology department a week on monday so we will see what he says. He cant sleep at night, and just lies there, and I just lie there thinking he may have another seizure at any time. He seems to be having trouble remembering things too, and he gets very stressed about things (mind you the kids really stress him out sometimes!)
Sorry to go on, it has all come as such a shock to us, and me and the children where so upset when we saw him having these seizures, and we are unable to help him, he does not know anything about them afterwards.
