Have his drs determined the cause? Very scary stuff..
Ive been an Epileptic since I was 11 & I’m now 55 , so naturally it’s hard for people to understand unless you’ve had seizures yourself . Hope my insight helps .
Our mom had dementia but no to the extent of my sister. She didn’t want a wheelchair or a Walker but she was always on the floor! So finally I got her a Walker and she was thrilled! They don’t want to admit they’ve reached that point —. Just get it and when he finds how much better life is with one he will be happy. As often as my mom fell I’m amazed she didn’t ever break a bone.
Everything you have written comes with Dementia. You really do need to see a Neurologist for all of his symptoms. PCP knows a little about everything, and a lot about nothing.
She said that it appeared to be a Myoclonic Seizure.
At the time this started to happen my Husband was either confined to his wheelchair or the bed so he was not a fall risk.
He was on pureed foods, thickened liquids and not eating or drinking much. I was careful when feeding him so choking was not a real concern.
I just monitored and since I kept a log daily I just wrote down each episode.
(He had "officially" been diagnosed with Alzheimer's but I also suspect he also had Vascular Dementia due to the way he declined)
I hate to say it but it might be time to switch to a wheelchair. A fall that can break a hip, leg, arm is not something you want to deal with.
With 3 different seizure medications, he for the most part was able to keep them under control, although every now and again one would sneak through.
And as he too later developed vascular dementia, his seizures seemed to increase and he was falling a lot not only from the seizures but the dementia itself as part of VD is unsteady gait.
His neurologist had to increase his seizure medication once again. And sadly my husband even had seizures during his dying process, when he could no longer swallow his seizure medication and the liquid medication hospice gave me really didn't seem to help at all.
They're no fun that's for sure. I hope your husband has a good neurologist that specializes in seizures.
