With your wife what can I say. I'm 67yrs and have been married for the past 37yrs.
I have suffered from Epilepsy all my years.
She has been a savior for me in the married years.
She cares for me and more times than few in the past few years she can quietly show being upset.
I best believe it is part of the aging process.
however, I know what it is like to be upset and hungry also and I begin to have an attitude.
Driving I stopped when my mental ability could not keep up with the traffic around me. I became a hazard to the road, and I can deal with that.
Knowing that I can order almost anything I want off the computer gives me freedom to keep my daily activities to the best norm I can possibly have. If your wife can except that she herself will relieve some stress.
Memory is a completely different story.
Yes, I also have issues holding conversations with people. I at times can't find the words to speak leaving me feel well embarrassed.
It's funny after a day or too the conversation comes right in my mind remembering every detail. I interrupt in the conversation because after 2 minutes I don't remember what he said.
Only to remember long after the conversation is through.
Seems no one understands.
You say you use a Cain.
I'm not there yet but my right leg needs a knee replacement the shots are not working as well, and I am taking more Acetaminophen these days
Well, I said enough
I wish you luck from an old Epileptic
Best wishes
You said you didn’t eat for awhile and getting migraines then you truly hungry, maybe dehidrate.
It is possible for seizure and medication side effect can cause those as well.
There were many triggers that day! Not having eaten, anger, frustration over not finding a room in a hotel and trying to find another!
on trips pack a small igloo type cooler with bottled water and ice coffee drinks along with snacks / small sandwiches, candy etc whatever floats both of your boats in the hungar / taste catagory. Also take your next dose of meds in case of unforseen delay(s).
First, what a day! That was a perfect storm of seizure triggers all hitting at once — and honestly, anyone would have struggled in that situation, epilepsy or not.
What happened to you that day involved several known seizure triggers stacking up together:
- Hunger (not eating since 11am)
- Exhaustion and physical pain
