Welcome to our group.
I have had EP for 50 years. I am 81. I was in my 30's and had a husband, and 3 daughters 2, 4 and 6.
My husband is now an ex and my daughters are all in their 50's. I went thru a couple years of not driving--
but drove and was a Home Health Aid for 25 years. I have been on Dilantin and Phenabarb for over 20 years.
I don't know what has caused my EP. I just accept that I have it. I now live in a retirement independent
apt and love it. My last sz was last August and that was because I hadn't taken my meds for 3 days. Why--
I don't know. I don't have szs often-- but have been on meds all this time.
Your son may have adjustments because of not driving. My personality changed-- my ex said.
The best things we decided to do was talk about it. Don't keep it a secret. And let people know what to
do if he has another one.

Subject: [epilepsy] New here - have questions
Hi, our 30 yr. old son recently had his first ever tc. He had it at work and dislocated, and broke his shoulder. He lives alone and now isn't allowed to drive because of the seizure. The hospital ran all kinds of tests and couldn't find a reason for the seizure, except his EEG showed he is prone to generalized seizures. He is now on Keppra. I don't know much about seizures because no one in our whole family has had seizures, so we're all kinda puzzled. He has his first follow-up visit after his hospital stay with his Neurologist next week. I am going to drive him to his appt. and I'm trying to prepare some good questions for the Dr. Does anyone have any suggestions of some basic info. we should ask?
Oh yeah, and moms worried about him living alone :) Thank God he can work from home.
