epilepsy ? or not?


by: VW on Tue, Jul 22 2008

My boyfriend had his first attack of epilepsy when he was 15 years old. We was at Thorpe Park in the ‘Asylum’ when he fell to the ground and started having his seizure Following this he went to a neurologist and had the EEP done. The results come back saying there was no dianosis and no reason.

However, 21months later…. he suffered another seizure It was on a Sunday just turnt luch time. He came downstairs with our son and told my Dad that he couldnt see, he then walked through to the gardedn where myself, mum and sister were. He asked me to take our son and i replied with whats wrong.. He then said that he felt light headed and could see multi-coloured lights… we told him to sit down as he did.. i cuddled him.. i got up to take baby to bed then Ben shot back in the chair with a grimace face as if he was joking about arms bent upright shaking. I said to him what are you doing, stop it.

Following this he stood up.. put his head straight back arms straightened out and fingers turnt tight, he then stepped forward then fell like a plank of wood to the floor where the fall siezure took place.. still with the grimace face, jerking, neck back, tightened muscles.

The siezure lasted for 3minutes. It took him 20minutes before he was able to realise people and come around. He was dazed and didnt understand.

After he was tierd out and fell to sleep.

During his seizure he fell on the left side of his head and grazed and cut all around the left side of his eye.

Can anyone help me??
