Hi Everyone
I'm new to this and i'm going out of my mind
My husband had his first EVER seizure on july 5th, no family history, no injury, nothing, it just happened out of the blue. He had all the tests done and they all came back clear. The doctors told him it was probably a one off and would never happen again......
WELL...He had his 2nd seizure on the 27th october at 10:45pm, i called the EMS again and we went off to the emergency room, while in the emergency room waiting for a bed he had another seizure. I feel so sorry for him as he always bites his tongue and can't eat for days.
Anyway, the said it was generalized siezures and they gave him all the tests again and everything came back normal so far (waiting on eeg results).
They started him on 500ml x 2 of keppra a day. I have done all the research i can on this drug. Don't knowif i like it....
I was wondering if anyone on this medication or has a loved one on this medication notices that they have jerks or twitches while they are sleeping. My husband, since the last seizures and/or starting keppra has weird movements on the left side of his body, particularly in his arm along with some face twitching, he doesnt feel them and they don't wake him, but im very concerned incase he is having seizures while he is sleeping.
Any help would be very much appriecated as i have not had a night sleep since october 27th, i have to sleep once my husband goes to work, its not good.
Thanks
Denise
