Ictal pain includes:
Paresthesia, or a tingling or "pins and needles" sensation
Thermal sensations, or feeling hot or cold in a body part
Burning or stabbing sensations, but this is rare
Who thinks right in this situation. Please don't blame yourself in any of this, you are doing the best you can!
I'm so sorry
That's one of the points of hopise if to transition to death pain free.
I was doing a little caregiving for someone once , I was young, hospice wasn't called yet. Her daughter was handling things very well. I was only going a few hours to relieve the daughter, and let her get out.
She had a seizure when I was there. I called the daughter we discussed it. She decided to not call 911 because they are only going to prolong the invetable at the hospital. Her mom was ready to go and it was just the progression of that, her daughter understood that.
You never let someone just lie there in pain, that's what hospice is for, but calling 911 and ER visit are just going to prolong his pain.
I'm so sorry, this has to be torcher watching your husband go. Keep us posted
And when he went under hospice care the last 22 months of his life he continued on those seizure medications, so make sure you talk to hospice about getting your husband on some of the seizure medications.
The closer my husband came to dying his seizures became more regular, and eventually my husband could no longer swallow his medications, so hospice gave him some kind of liquid medication that they hoped would help with his seizures, but he still continued to have them until he finally went unconscious.
Don't second guess what you did. You did what you thought was best at the time.
Please get your husband back under hospice care and just make sure that they're supplying your husband with some seizure medications.
I'm sorry you're going through this. I know it's very hard, but know that you're doing a great job. So hang in there.
