When I was 2 months pregnant, I was not taking enough medication, and I had stress. I started to have my seizures nonestop, so they put me into an induced coma till they found the right medication that took 4 days. I love my husband, and we are happy because she was born as healthy and beautiful as she could be now she is in school. ❤

@patrickstuart2535 My husband and I both had brain tumors removed in our teens, but I was the only one who has epilepsy so he had a hard time learning how to take care of me. If you both have epilepsy, then you both should know how to look out for each other, understand how to treat each other and take care of each other, and have things to talk about and learn together. 👍

Im not sure if there is anything specific for people with epilepsy, but there may be something for people with chronic disease. It will depend on where you are living.
