Epilepsy and sickness
I would just like to say hello to everyone. I personally don’t suffer with epilepsy but my partner does and I’m keen to soak up as much information as possible to help him through his seizures and emotionally. I’ve read many books been on courses but nothing quite prepares you for what you see. My partner of 25 years old was diagnosed with epilepsy 5 months ago just at the time of having our beautiful baby girl. He started his medication and over time has had increases due to them becoming more frequent and violent some could say. Over the weekend he forgot his morning and evening medication to be exact yesterday being a Sunday. Monday early morning (6am) he displays him self with a tonic clinic seizure 14 minutes later another one and 12 minutes later another one. All lasting between 3.5/4.5 minutes. He was taken to hospital and also given some anti sickness medication in his cannula. After taking bloods and allowing his blood pressure to resume to normal they released him. With in 10 minutes of being home his 4th tonic clonic seizure of the day happened. He has been violently sick all day except he has not eating so now it’s just stomach acid also know as bile. He can’t keep fluids down and technically hasn’t kept his morning medication down. I’m very concerned and prior to this morning he has not been unwell so very much suggests the sickness is linked to his seizures. I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? Or maybe some advice. Speaking to his epilepsy nurse and his GP I’ve not really had much luck. Feeling lost and worried. Any help would be so appreciated. Many thanks.
