Hi I am new here, hoping to get insight and advice from other people that can relate to my situation. My husband has his 1st grand mal in 2009 at 31 yrs old. The grand mal's continued and he was diagnosed with epilepsy in March 2010. We have a four year old son. It has been a constant struggle as to date we have been unable to control the seizures with meds and he is not a candidate for any of the surgeries. Recently my husband started having non epileptic episodes that happen daily at times numerous times a day. There are certain things my husband has been told to do that could affect his condition in a positive way and I find myself struggling daily because he doesn't do these things... When he starts having episodes he constantly fights me when I ask him to sit down so he doesn't fall etc...Please help, how do I get him to fight the disease instead of feed it?
