No more or less than marrying a girl without epilepsy. Love her the same and be flexible. If her seizures are under control, you may never even witness her have one. Medical emergencies happen to even the healthiest of individuals and marriage is “in sickness and in health.”

What you can do, is be prepared to remain calm if she does have a seizure. Depending on the severity of the seizure or her treatment plan, you may have to take her to the emergency room and sit for hours on end while it seems like nothing is happening. As someone with Crohn’s disease and epilepsy, this is something my aunt husband has had to learn how to cope with. It can be very frustrating to watch the love of your life feel vulnerable. All you can do is be patient.

Keep a list of her medicines, allergies, and conditions on hand in case of emergencies. This is important for ANYONE and helps medical providers make decisions as quickly as possible.

In the case of having a seizure, it is illegal and irresponsible to drive until cleared by a physician. Each state has its own regulations. In Tennessee, I had to wait 6 months to drive again. In Indiana, the waiting period is only 3 months. That may mean you spend more time carpooling, but that’s just more time to be together!

Ask her about the foundation of the problem. When was the first time she experienced it? What has her family members done towards helping her? Then you can start from there which is taking her to the hospital.

It's the same but Varies In Symptoms and Occurrence. I think the one OP babe Is experiencing Isn't that extreme except If OP dey lie lol. Extreme epilepsy symptoms Is what you described up there earlier. It killed one of my distant Cousin, He was always having extreme wounds all over his body due to the effect of the epilepsy, There Is another guy In my area who falls Into this Category but fortunately he Is still alive but In Shabby Condition......

No advice!

I wouldn't and can never stay with any girl with medical issues.
Reason being that they can never be with you if reverse was the case. They will jump to the next available guy.

@OP be wise.

A seizure is a single occurrence, whereas epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by two or more unprovoked seizures.

OP if you truly love her do the ff...if someone puts it on her she can be cured, ask elders you can trust . Curing her is free.
If no one puts in on her there are drugs to suppress it, visit hospital and see Physicians on that expertises.
Pray n don’t stop praying.

Please doctors in the house is there a cure for nocturnal epilepsy?

I have a pretty girl, we started dating 8 months ago, this girl is everything I need in a woman, she is neat, cooks well and humble, so perfect to my taste but she is epileptic.

I have been inviting her to my house for over 5months for her to sleep over in my apartment but she keeps refusing, telling me she has a problem then I later promised her whatever the problem is that I wouldn't abadon her.

She finally came on friday, we ate together and later in the night at 22:38 she started having epilepsy and after about 45mins she woke up and started crying, she told me she has been suffering from epilepsy since Feb 2019 but she hasn't been to the hospital due to financial issues.

So please can we find drug for nocturnal epilepsy, it happens to her only at night like 30 to 35mins in her sleep.

Girlfriend Sleeping over? You already fornicating? Be ready to bear the consequences of whatever comes your way.

Let her see a doctor. They have drugs to help with the situation.

Re: Help My Girlfriend Is Epileptic. by stevone(m): 2:44pm On Sep 28, 2020
go and buy PHENOBARBITONE u can as well call it PHENOBARB. 1 in the morning 1 in the evening. and is a continuous drug that the person will be taken. no side effect. I know someone that has been taken it more than 5years. So, after 1 to 2 years the Person can go to hospital for check up, maybe the epilepsy has stop finally or if his to continue with it.
the Cup of the drup is Around 7, 8, or 9,000 depends on ur location. and is 1000 pieces inside. so if you buy 1 cup it will take the person 1 year 4 Month.
another problem is that, the drug is a control drug. definitely, the pharmacist Will request or ask for doctors prescription.
if there is other information u need u can ask me.
May God see us tru.

Chef2000:

She said she can stay awake to 2am and nothing would happen but immediately she sleeps that is when the seizure will come
Had that problem with my room-mate in school.
Also happens whenever he wakes up, there is a drug he was placed on when we rushed him to the hospital one midnight.

It is called carbamezapine (or usually tegretol).
There is a dosage and it helps control it.

But get a doctor nonetheless.

IDon't believe the story. She can not just visit and just have attack. People with nucturnal epilepsy so Don't have ssessions every day. Sometimes its once in 3 or 4 months.

Ideally an epileptic lady who wants to visit boyfriend would go few days after a session knowing that a next session will not come soon

Your girl may be epileptic no doubt. But this your story is not true
