Hello again, after a difficult time.
I don't know if you have someone in your family who is suffering from epilepsy, if yes, you probably know, you have the choice "between the devil and the deep blue see", as the saying goes. Wether the patient has seizures at any possible time and not just at home, on the street and everywhere, which is dangerous, or he takes medicine which has, partly, rather heavy side effects. Partly changes even the character.
My OH developed epilepsy 4 years ago and all the time the doctor had to increase the dosis. He also tried to change the medicine, but there is no help, he has to take the highest dosis. At times, that makes him hot tempered without any real reason, he forgets things at once, or, he remembers on them completely differently as it actually happened.
For years I could have been very patient, repeating things he forgot many times patiently, telling him it doesn't matter, was cheerful even if he was unjust and angry. Then came a long bad spell at the end of February, because of a remark to someone, not even to him, he interpreted this remark in the wrong way completely and did not speak to me for about 5 weeks, only sometimes accusing me of things I never did. Minor things, mind, but there came a point I couldn't take it anymore - I broke.
I became nauseaous, weepy, suffered from insomnia, I wanted to hide and being left alone but of course that was not possible, my only good days were when our lovely GS stayed with us, he was good as gold.
So I went to the doctor, became some medicine for a time being.
To make a long talk short, OH didn't understand at first and was really surprised even frightened that I wept without any real reason, and didn't asked what the doctor said, I think he was afraid to know. Now slowly, things turned if not to the best, but are better, I'M slipping now out of the medicine, taking another one, which is not so strong and OH tries to control the side effects of his pills. I must emphasise he is basicaly a very nice person.
Sorry for having been so long and rather gloomy, I just wanted to tell you it was not that I wasn't in the Forum because I wasn't interested in you or in your problems. I hope I'll can return now slowly to normal.
Thank you for listening, wish you all a nice evening.
Love Macika
