It's 2:30AM!

Hi,

I just need to talk. Jim woke up about an hour ago and

was having a bad hallucination that a man leapt on top

of him in bed. He was afraid. He said he had to go to

the bathroom, so I helped him up out of bed and

transfered him to his transport chair and when I

brought him into the bathroom he was having a hard

time standing up from his chair, but I managed to get

him down on the toilet and then he went into one of

those seizures, but it's not a seizure, because he had

an eeg and it was negative. His entire body, arms and

legs thrash about and his eyes roll back into his head

and then he throws his head back and goes totally

stiff and into a stare that he can't come out of for

awhile, but then slowly comes around. The doctor

thinks it's fainting, but he hasn't actually seen it

and I think it is a TIA. This time when he came out of

it, his entire face was drooping down and he slurred

his speech. Usually he comes out of these things

seeming ok and not knowing what happened and acts as

if nothing has happened. I am going to keep an eye on

him for the next few hours and see how he is. I hate

when he goes into a stupor like this, they are scary

to me, but I am getting used to seeing them and don't

panic as much as I did when they first started

happening. If it is fainting, what are some of the

things that you do to help prevent it from happening

for those that are experienced with fainting LOs.

There is never a dull moment with this disease!.........Jan
