I hope you get specific answers. The brain uses seizures I believe simply as a coping mechanism. Part of the brain cannot fix the damage to it so it shuts down and reroutes that part temporarily until the body can cope again. Do not be surprised if your husbands personality is severely affected. This is a very insecure time for him. Especially a man, they are meant to care for the woman and he will hate watching you work and care for him.
Just mb that if he gets angry.
As for the seizures, give it time. They will probably get worse before they get better. Eventually your husbands body will settle into a new pattern when his brain has finished rerouting.
Despite contrary evidence I am a great believer in homeopathy. However I know that drug prescription is simpler. It's such a gamble to get it right, so continue to expect setbacks.
Keep us updated xx

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs.
This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance.
The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months.
I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion.
The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days.
I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists.
I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation.
