Seizure 😫

[Tgirl79]

so hubby had tbi end of Feb, been recovering well up till yesterday when he had a seizure in the restaurant we were in, very traumatising for us all (got 4 children) hospital couldn't say what caused it, really worried that it'll happen again.

You should have been told that epilepsy or seizures are a real possibility after BI. No one can predict if or when they may occur, he may never have another one, but he may go on to have more.

I was never told, but my family were, luckily it has not happened yet and I am 6 years post BI but my brain is injured I hope it doesn’t happen in the future.

Now you are aware it may happen again you will be more prepared but that last one may have been an isolated one, there will be no treatment unless there are recurring seizures.

Just watch and wait I am afraid.

I’d get him to see a doctor about it as I was told there was a slightly higher chance of having seizures. I think there ischance of one off seizures but I think they are more common in first days or week after BI and any later on are more likely to be epilepsy. There is medication to control them so you need to see a doctor to see what is best for you.
