Hi bhnlh,

You mentioned that your husband was working outside in warm weather when he had a seizure. I was in a medical study last yr. and they found that heat can trigger seizures for some people and this is what might have happened to your husband. Tell your husband to take his temperature 3 times a day and each time after he has a seizure and write all the info. down, then have him keep track of how many times he yawns each day and write down what time he yawns they have proven that yawning helps cool the brain down so the neurons in the brain won't fire up and trigger seizures. Another thing your husband should do is take a cold washcloth and put it on his face and the back of his neck at least 3 times a day this helps calm the neurons down also. If your husband has been sick this can trigger seizures also because the body chemistry is off. If your husbands stomach continues to both him tell him to see a gastro specialist. I had to see one a few yrs. ago when I had bad cramps in my lower stomach and I couldn't hold any food in my stomach. It was then that I found out I had gastrolinteritos (sp?) I had to go on a low fat diet, drink only tea, and ginger ale. In regards to caffeine your husband can have at least 3-4 cups of coffee or tea each day but nothing more than that because it may trigger seizures. Here's wishing you and your husband the best and May God Bless You!
