Hi,
I have posted a few topics on here but just a quick update for the past 3 months my husband has been having "episodes" which can last from 1 min to 15 min and can have up to 15 a day. During this time he blanks out and fiddles with whatever is to hand and can't talk but knows what it is going on around him afterwards he has a headache and is so tired. He also had a numbness all over his body and difficulty in speaking forgetting words and switching his words around so. We saw a neurologist who ordered a mri scan which we had 2 weeks ago but still not had any results so we assume it was clear otherwise we would have heard. Then 3 days ago the episopes just stopped. He was advised to stop driving but now he feels he can drive because its been 3 days. Considering he was having them every day and on no medication is it safe to assume that it was not epilepsy and can drive now. He still has the numbness all over his body which is worse in the bath or direct sunlight. He was checked for a stroke at the beginning but that was proved negative.
many thanks
Penny
