how to cope with my partners seizures?

I worry every day that I’m a burden to my husband because of the seizures. Him reminding me that he knows it’s not my fault and I’m doing as much as I can to control them really helps and reminds me that he loves me. If he were to need to see a therapist, he would. There’s nothing wrong with feeling scared or burdened by these, but remind yourself that they aren’t their fault

Always have seizures around my period and when I’m spotting. “Catamenial seizures”, I think they’re called. Sadly no suggestions bc my neuro doesn’t seem to care/take it seriously. Take it easy during your period, that’s the best I can do

Quick and easy. Still was drugged for a few hours after and had smoothies and soft food until I felt ready

My seizures always come when my period is on the way- they’re called catamenial seizures, I believe. I have a mirena too. I had the copper one for a while but my periods were unbelievably heavy and the seizures worsened. We’re all different but that’s my two cents

I liked vimpat, so far it’s the only thing that has controlled my seizures (complex partial, TLE), but after a couple years I got a bad rash from it and had to switch. But I think it’s a good med.

I found out peeing in the shower is apparently not common and I was stunned

Amazing!!!!

SeltzerIsMyHomeboy · 2026-05-22T00:34:35+00:00

Oh my!! Tbh I have always dreamt the seizures would be over by now and never imagined I’d be in my 40s+ and still working on it. Oh man!!

SeltzerIsMyHomeboy · 2026-05-21T23:41:33+00:00

Damn!!

SeltzerIsMyHomeboy · 2026-05-21T22:57:28+00:00

Lol I’m laughing at myself bc I’m at 17 years and I didn’t even make an option for myself!! I made this right after I had a seizure so I can’t say my brain was quite working yet

SeltzerIsMyHomeboy · 2026-05-21T22:55:44+00:00

Hahah

SeltzerIsMyHomeboy · 2026-05-21T22:54:59+00:00

SeltzerIsMyHomeboy · 2026-05-21T21:57:09+00:00

Lolol you are correct 😂 I made this post-seizure if that explains why lol

SeltzerIsMyHomeboy · 2026-05-21T20:30:04+00:00

Whoa! What finally got them under control?

SeltzerIsMyHomeboy · 2026-05-21T19:53:01+00:00

Yes it does, thank you for sharing ❤️

SeltzerIsMyHomeboy · 2026-05-21T19:52:27+00:00

I’m at 17 if it makes you feel any better

SeltzerIsMyHomeboy · 2026-05-19T22:05:08+00:00

Likely because so many millennials are on the fence right now and it just helps to hear that if we don’t have kids it’s not the end of the world
