RE: When life says slow down - taking a break before you break

Your condition is really complicated.
My husband is epileptic and they only happen to him during sleep, in case he stops his treatment, or overdoes it one day drinking alcoholic beverages, which of course he shouldn't do.
I hope he recovers soon, any care is too little, although we women are usually very disciplined and careful with our body and health.

There is a lot of life still ahead.

Epilepsy can be so unpredictable. I understand what your husband is going through. I think, so far, I’ve only had two or three seizures in my sleep, but I always wake up on the floor with broken teeth or bumps on my head. It’s hard to respond quickly enough to sit down when I feel a seizure coming. And yes, alcohol isn’t great, but in small doses, it seems manageable. Take beer away from a man, though, and you might see worse things happen!;) People sometimes forget what partners go through as well, the pain of watching someone they love having a seizure and feeling helpless. Hearing my husband’s calm words during those moments really helps me, and I’m so grateful. Wishing all the best to your husband, and to you too, for being so supportive!

My legs are still shaking from the strong impression I got from the last attack that happened to you...luckily it was quite some time ago, so I understand your husband's feelings and attitude.

Best wishes to you and your husband as well.
