Yes. Is There A Site For Spouses? I Am Dealing With A Husband That Doesn't Understand My Seizures.

MCCORMICK, SC

Even though we have been together over 20 years, my husband understand my seizures and why I cannot remember things like I used to. I thought there maybe was a separate website for spouses, parents anyone that was not having the seizures, but had to help the person that was.

I think There may be a Facebook group that is the equivalent of this. but I don't think My health team have any thing like that.

Find out through the Epilepsy Foundation if the have any form of counseling or maybe they know of an Org that maybe able to help you husband understand better.

Another idea is to keep up with the Epilepsy Foundation scheduled events. See if there is a conference going on in your area.

Perhaps another question for the Epilepsy Foundation or local chapters of that and others Epilepsy groups. Good luck!

I am aware of a number of "caregiver" support sites, but nothing focusing just on epilepsy. Most are related to Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimers, and the like.
