I have epilepsy have not had a seizure in two years the other day I had one and wrecked my car?

Question

hubby is giving me hell and it hurts I can not help the fact that I have seizures he told me he wished he had married some one else . He treats me like **** he acts as if i am not arouns what can I say or do to help fix this

Answer 1

If this is new behavior for your hubby, then my guess is he got scared and is overcompensating in a terrible way. If this is regular behavior for him, I'd recommend getting him out of your life. You don't deserve this - his behavior constitutes psychological and emotional abuse

Answer 2

Umm, Are you taking any meds for that ? If not, You probably should be. You should be under the care of a neurologist, who can help get you on the right meds to control your seizures. Then it's up to you to take them as dirrected. If you're doing all of that & still having seizures, then You need to get back with you neurologist pronto for a review of your meds & possibly a change either in dosage, or the medication itself, or both. If you do these things, you should be able to live virtually seizure free. I know =)

Answer 3

Maybe he doesn't know how to handle this. And by you not getting help and driving the car and getting into a wreck . he's upset that you could have been killled or someone else and of course the insurance rates going up and fixing the car.

You said you cannot help the fact you have seizures true but have you gotten medication for this. also there is surgury if needed you should speak to a specialist about this. You could seriously kill yourself or someone else. and you shouldn't be driving

So get yourself to a doctor and get this looked after.
next time it could me much worse. and please don't drive anymore your putting everyone at risk including yourself.

Answer 4

I know where you are coming from, honey! I was diagnosed with epilepsy 12 years ago. Mine has been under control for 5 years, thankfully. See your doctor to see why you had he seizure first. It could be a problem with your medication. You need to explain to him that this was something beyond your control though. It is a medical condition and you went two years without a seizure! If it was due to you not taking your meds than I could actually sympathize with his feelings. As an epileptic, you have the responsibility of taking your meds as instructed. If you have problems remembering them, you need to find a way to remember to take them. You can email me if you need some ideas. But, find out why you had it first. I fit was because of something beyond your control, like your body rejecting your medicine, he needs to understand.

Answer 5

Leave the jerk! I mean, it's not your fault that you have seizures! BEsides, you just went through a traumatic car wreck as a result of your epilepsy. Shouldn't your husband be comforting you and asking if you're alright??? If he keeps acting like this, don't put up with it.

Answer 6

i also have the same affection . i am sorry that anyone has it it is a terrible thing not yo be able to control your own body and hard to explain to others . your hubbie is as a.s.s. . i do have to say this and it hurts for me to but i have to . what if someone got really hurt i know how i would feel i don't know how old you are or how long you have had this . but there are things to do so that you can get along in life or as close as possible . if you need or want to talk wright back

Answer 7

That is so unfortunate, I have ayounger cousin who has done the same thing, however the state of Louisian revoke her drivers license. Hopefully, your husband can get over this thing. It is called an accident, because that is what it is, it is not like you treid to wreck the car, it was an accident.

Tell your husband to hit the lottery, or get a better job and hire you a driver. You have s disease that prevents you from being able to finction noramally, hell he knew your condition when he married you. Tell him to get over it.

Answer 8

Divorce the SOB.

You have a medical condition. You cannot help that. Yeah taking medication might surpress it. That is beside the point. Medication is not always affective.

You wrecked a VEHICLE. It could have cost you your life. If he is more worried about a VEHICLE compared to you. You need to move out and ON with your life.

I would THINK there was insurance on the vehicle. It could have been replaced or repaired. If you have LOST your life. THERE IS NOT insurance policy that could bring you back.

Answer 9

He probably thinks you are making up the story about having an epileptic seizure. If he is talking that crap to you, you should try leaving if possible. It sounds like neither one of you are happy. If you could leave for a while, he would realize how lonely it is to be alone.

Answer 10

um, i think u guys should go to marriage counsling. (it works) But first Sit down and talk both of you get a pen and paper and write down reasons why u guys did marry eachother. The fact that hes giving you hell about having seizures and messing up the car. I think its kina **f**ked up. I think on his part hes just scared. If you guys are newly married hes not used to this. Also why you guys have that peace of paper and pen have him write down the reason why he "wishes he didnt marry you." and you write down qualities that you'd wish he'd change. Best of luck <3

Answer 11

I can tell you how to fix this. Get rid of his butt! I have had epilepsy my entire life and sure it can be hard if not controlled. But I have never had anyone, let alone someone who is suppose to love me, talk to me like that. You can't fix epilepsy but you can control it, you can however fix your life. Never let anyone treat you as if you are different or that you're a burden. That just makes me so mad, I can't stand it! Good luck.
