Focal seizures

Hello results of my husband's scan came back saying he's got Focal Seizure. He is recovering from Ataxia Brain Injury. He will have shakes/jerks, they come and go. Might be ok for a long period but then it'll come again so I insisted on a brain scan. Anyone know much and have experience with focal seizures can share with me please. Thank you.

Hi

Many people find it helpful to talk to, or contact, others who understand what is happening to them. I hope you get some replies from other people here.

You and your husband might also like to contact one of our local coffee and chat groups if we have one in your area. And you can talk to other people through our forum4e online community, and on our Facebook and twitter pages too.
