my hubby thinks after the seizure is over all i need is sleep off the seizure tiredness.my seizure doc has told him to take me er so she can get reports. i was seeing a seizure spealist and wanted me to be put in hospital for four days to have video seizures and no one could keep my kids and with school i just couldnt do it. i just dont understand how i can have hypopituitary "but not bad enough to treat" ? my kids are scared to death of my seizures because i scream and turn blue now. i seen a new neuro and was told the gamma does effect the other brain tissue than just the tumor,,my neurosurgeon told me it didnt.i have gained 20pnds after the gamma and 50 in all .i just lost intrest in everything and just dont have enegry for anything. im dreading spring because the heat makes me sick.. i just need help.

Why does not someone yell at the hubs - a seizure is not something to sleep off? You really have the worst doctors. Why do they not insist that you be brought in?

They need to evaluate you while it is going on - so someone has to call 911. Can you train one of the kids to call? Can you get a friend to call?

I would be depressed just over the situation let alone the illness and untreated hormonal issues.
