Looking after children when I have epilepsy
Wed, 02/27/2019 - 06:44Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
My partner has recently been diagnosed with epilepsy, to begin with he only ever had night seizure where I could not wake up and was unsure what was really going on.
But yesterday was a whole new experience when he had a tonic clonic seizure and I needed to call for a ambulance!
They have now put him on Lamotrigine previously we was not on any medication!
We are both a little concerned as we have a 4 year old little girl, I work night and worried if the same thing happens again when I’m not there!
Does anyone please have advise or previous experiences of this that could help us!
Thank you
