Hi All, this is my first time of posting on this forum and am I looking to help by Daughter and her Fiancé. He has Epilepsy and we have recently discovered that it has been not been manged correctly for about 10 years. This has come as a shock to us all.
Although we are trying to see the positive side of the recent assessment, i.e. better managed can only be a good thing, my Daughter really struggles with seeing her beloved Fiancé have a seizure. Thankfully it has only been one, but she really really struggled to see him go through it. She is worried that as they change his medication the likelihood of a seizure maybe heightened.
Can anyone advise of how a loved one can be as supportive as possible to someone with Epilepsy but also manage their own emotions and feelings if they see their loved one have a seizure.
BTW my daughter is a Health care professional in the NHS and although is used to dealing with medical situations every day at work finds it so hard seeing her Fiancé having a seizure.
Any advice or information would be gratefully received.
Thank you
