My husband suddenly started having grand mal seizures about 6 years ago completely out of the blue and was diagnosed with epilepsy about 6 months after his first cluster of seizures. He was young (27) fit and healthy and strong as he is a farmer, since the epilepsy began he has changed in almost every way... can anyone else relate?
I can’t relate , since I had Epilepsy almost my whole life. But, there is a possibility , that his seizures or medication side effects, or both are causing his personality change
I used to have back problems where it would hurt to even move, so I just had to lay down until I wasn't in so much pain, but ever since I was diagnosed with epilepsy after I have a seizure my back pain is a lot worse. Sometimes I get back pains even when I haven't had a seizure. And unfortunately I have tried every single pain medication there is and none of them help me at all
Bright side is I was alone and just went through it. Sometimes I do need some drugs to stop them.

I have been trusting a nurse to put my pills in my pill pack so I won't get them mixed up. This morning I found more than one error in my main seizure pills. The error was that the the pills was supposed to be taken 2 pills twice a day. I found out that the day meds were correct, but the night pills only had 1 pill in the pack for this medication. I had been feeling bad all week. I thought it was my stomach problems from the past. Now I believe it is a combination. Now my husband has to go back… read more
