How does your wife/husband/partner cope with you having epilepsy and seizures? My wife still has flashbacks to me taking ill and when she hears a bang in the house she thinks I have collapsed having a seizure. She says she is living her life on edge. Is anyone else's partner experiencing the same thing?
I wish he had insurance , I have vns it’s a pacemaker for seizures it works 24/7 to help control them it’s not 100% you still need medicine but it cut down and they have to see what kind he has and if it is compadable to the vns,try the epilepsy foundation and clinics in your area
The Epilepsy Foundation may be able to pay for one of them.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member The other good news is that it sounds like he is a keeper if he is not only tolerating you hitting him while he sleeps but also keeping track of your seizures based on this.
You have certainly hit the jackpot with Mr Right!
Personally people with epilepsy cannot always be protected by somebody else their entire life. That is not smart, that person is not going to be there forever. I was in college lived on the college campus with no family that had 25,000 people living around me also.
