need help for husband with epilepsy

hello everyone
my husband has been having sezuires for over 2 years now. He never had a family history of anyone in his family that has been effected by epilepsy. His sezuires most occur during is sleep anywhere from 3am - 6 am in the morning every 2-3 months. His doctor has him on keppra 500mg 4 times a day. the medicine works for about two months and then here come the sezuires. I'M not complaining because I know that things could be worst. It has been hard for us because we are a young couple and we have our own business and we cant afford insurance without going bankrupt, we have applied for local medicaid but they denined us because we have no kids. He have not recieved deep care for is problem because we have no insurance and they decline his coverage becuase he has a preexsisting cause. so we are stuck not knowing which way to turn..... we live in florida...... and the doctor never diagosed his condition all they want to do is medicate him all hey ever said is that he have an megioma on his brai that could probably be causing the sezuires. If someone know any health resources that will cover his dr visits or mri..

thanks
good wife

I understand completely. You can get on the epilepsy foundation for some help on things. Another thing you may need for him to do is have him get on disability even if it's partial. Medicare will pay for medical bills and part D will pay for perscription coverage. I am on disability for my seizures and memory loss and now many other things. I am glad I have medicare it's my secondary insurance my husband provides primary ins. on me. I am glad I have the perscription coverage. He needs testing done video eeg monitoring.

please remember that meningiomas grow very slowly and surgical removal does not always stop the siezures. Also meningiomas are usually not cancerous, i dont want to say always, im not an MD. My siezures only got worse after mine was removed.Has he had a scan done yet.Follow the advise of melvinathlene and contact the epilepsy foundation for medical insurance advise.
