>> Hi everyone,
>>
>> I am new to the group.
>> Actually I want to know the exact difference between the term -
>> EPILEPSY,
>> SEIZURES AND CONVULSIONS.
>>
>> In the month of Feb my husband while on work suddenly went blank and was
>> not responding to anyone talking to him. I though he was unwell and
>> brought him home. As soon as we reach home he started getting
>> convulsions
>> we admitted him to hospital. he was there for one and a half month.
>> Was
>> having hallucinations, wet bed, not remembering people, spitting food
>> everywhere not able to follow instructions, needed support while
>> walking,
>> etc...... Doctor said he will recover slowly slowly. The term they
>> mentioned were - EPILEPSY, SEIZURES AND CONVULSIONS, which are new
>> to
>> me and to be honest i do not understand.
>>
>> Once we brought him home slowly he started progressing and within 20
>> days
>> - mid April, he was able to do things on his own - take bath, toilet
>> habits, eating, walking, remembering people.
>> However his recovery progress has stopped here. He is in same state
>> what
>> he was 3 months back. He can recognize people and talks with them. But
>> he is not normal . Gets confused at times - leaves taps open, wears
>> clothes
>> but not properly (collar behind etc..), keeps on repeating the same
>> thing,
>> after having medicines asks for medicines, is not able to write
>> properly
>> in line and forgets words in-between, He cannot be left alone and needs
>> someone to keep an eye on him. At times he refuses to understand and
>> argues and wants - to drive, go to office, etc...... which he cannot.
>>
>> He is on following medicines -
>> LEVIPIL
>> TRIOPTAL
>> ACTIVAN
>> PREVA
>> QUITIPIN
>>
>> Doctor says all these are for preventing convulsions from reoccurring.
>> I
>> am worried that no medicine is given to him for his memory and to become
>> totally normal. I want him to be normal as he was before all this.
>> People say he will be alright but will take time. How long????????
>> I
>> have 2 small kids and m not able to manage all the things alone at home.
>> It is now like having 3 small kids.
>>
>> Can someone help, and guide me.
>> Thank you
