seizures--Celeste

[Guest guest]

Hello Celeste. In reference to seizures, Sam had quite a lot of them, and

at first I was very frightened--he was rigid, his eyes rolled back and he

shook. It was awful to see him. I used to take his bp at those

times--when I wasn't trying to hold him in his chair, and it was terribly

low--50/35 etc. For some reason he hardly ever trembles now and his bp has

been quite good. The only reason that I can think for the good bp is that

he never stands up anymore, can't move around on his own, even in bed.and

is largely immobile--can't feed himself at all, except he does manage with

a bit of sandwich or cookie if it is put in his hand and aimed at his

mouth. And he doesn't feel faint much. Nothing much has changed about his

medicine, except that the proamatine was increased a bit after the tremors

started, , but the doctor just cut back on it, and I have noticed no

change. In fact, I don't notice any big reaction one way or the other when

he starts a new medicine or if I forget to give him his medicine from time

to time. Who knows. These plateaus come, last for a while, then slowly

disappear. Good luck, Celeste. We all do the best that we can. Lou
