Ali in OR Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Not me, and not the same person. Dh started a vertigo episode last night--he'll be nauseous, dizzy, and feeling crappy for the next 3 days. It's inner ear stuff and it happens once in awhile so we know the pattern. Then when I went to get disabled dd up she was in the midst of a seizure. She had 4 bad days last week too and usually we go weeks to months without seizure issues. But having one at the start of the day is not a good omen so I went for the Diastat right away. Meanwhile life goes on--laundry day, fundraiser for dd's soccer team, painting the bathroom...but all with nagging worry in the back of my mind. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica_in_Switzerland Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Sorry about your dd. ? Does your dh have benign positional periodic vertigo (BPPV?) If so, so do I, and I've had some really good luck with some of the "throwing my head around" exercises when I feel an episode coming on. I can give more info if that's what he's got and he hasn't already tried that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz CA Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Ali, I hope your day gets better, your dh feels better. Perhaps some of the methods Monica is using (upthread) might help him? Hope your dd gets some rest and most of all that you find some peace in the midst of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I'm sorry, Ali. There must be something in the air bc my DD has been having a lot more seizure activity than her baseline. It stinks for her. I feel like I'm constantly on edge wondering when the next one is coming. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he first starting having these episodes 4-5 years ago, I had to drive him to his specialist in Portland during one of the episodes so he could see it. He could tell just looking at him that it wasn't that. He called it secondary Meniere's--secondary to hearing loss/damage that he already had.

I've been suspecting sleep issues since I've heard her humming in the middle of the night or awake unusually early. And lack of sleep definitely brings on seizures. But then I also wonder about barometric pressure or full moons or whatever else my brain comes up with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Lots of sleep today for dd and no more seizures so far, so that's good. Dh went to work, so it could be worse. Thanks for the support all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
