> Kat- I would be exactly the same way with my husband. I would as him repeadedly about what happend with the seizure, and I'm sure it would be agonizing to recall the event. Can you emagine? I hope you are feeling better today, and am wondering how you are doing on the new medication? -L
I know that he wants to forget it as he is afraid that it is going to happen again; I am afraid it is going to happen again and the doctors are afraid it is going to happen again... if they are afraid then I am terrified so I have no idea where that leaves him, but I feel that I have to know...
when I was in hospital they kept giving me Tylenol to bring down a fever... and I kept thinking of my orthopaedist who has told me not to take Tylenol in any form because it is so hard on the liver and I have been given so much of it over the years for pain that it is probably built up in damage...
but they cannot give me any aspirin product and I am not to take aspirin products ... so where does that leave me I wonder...
another question that I should have asked before I left...
the new med is not to be taken with antihistamines unless with the agreement of the doctor... well I did not ask about that either and I take a very strong one, one that is banned in our armed forces ... so I have been not taking it and sneezing and itching until my skin is about to peel off in layers at a time..
I know that my own doctor has given instructions that if I call I am to be given an emergency appointment that day... so Monday I shall call and get these questions answered...
I an making a list :(Another thing that the poor demented husband has told me is that when he tried to hold me so I would not hurt myself my skin was so hot it was uncomfortable to touch... and nothing that I have read includes fever in these seizures...
more questions I want answered...the neuro team wants him to come on the appointment when I go to the clinic as they want him to tell them what the nocturnal seizures are like, what happened this time and what happened during those other, daytime, tonic clonic seizures a few weeks ago... maybe then I will get the answers I need, but I cannot wait until then...
this is a full day out of my life and it is so weird...
the one new med is supposed to deal with seizures but, at the same time, it is supposed to stop the racing brain thing, the constant thinking that keeps me awake at night...
well that part is not working...
the pain killing stuff is supposed to make me sleep too... not working...
I am afraid to sleep... and it is early in the morning before I fall asleep out of exhaustion...
then I am up and doing things by eight...
and afraid even to nap when I am so tired that I know it will push me to seizures if I don't rest...
logic loses to terror...those constant thoughts may be keeping you from sleeping properly... or resting properly...
sure doesn't let me sleep at least it didn't before this and the doctor put me on that whatever it is so that my brain would rest...
it worked; I would sleep for eight hours...
