i just need some advise...please

i wrote you before...but im really anxious to see if you can help out. today he is weak, can hardly walk, slurred speech, he cant hold things in his hands well, blood shot eyes, looks real tired. like i had i said before he had a seizure a couple months ago and was put on keppra, dilantin, oxycodone, naproxion, and alprazolam. he has severe social anxiety and got hit by a car 2 years ago, fractured ribs broken bones, pulled muscles in back,neck and head. he always complains about him having a headache and makes me put pressure on him neck when he thinks he about to go into a seizure. ive also seen him take the belt for his pants and wrap it around his neck until his face turns purple to loosen up his neck muscles. my opinion about that is that if hes in that much pain to do that to himself then my concern is that he becomes suicidal. he has a 5 yr old daughter, thats seen more crazy things than i have. we need help. we need your help, cause it sounds like noone else gives a crap about a 27yr old man that could have something seriously wrong with him and nothing is beening done. if you could only see what i see everyday, you would think twice about how you value life...this whole thing has made me look at life in a completely different way...please

I get social anxiety too if I was him, dont sweat that, let him be comfortable where he can be so his anxiety can heal until his symptoms are over. Hes probably afraid he will seize in public. Thats natural and will take time after he starts feeling better.

magnesium causes horrible headaches like that and without magnesium your potassium will give you probs next.

check his potassium and magnesium levels....stiffness with that is horrible and will make you wanna go bonkers. Even if it is just a little low, dont ignore that. Are you sure he has true seizures or is it cataplexic attacks where he can hear everything during a seizure like episode? Just trying to help, we are similar age and my stuff started just like this just recently too and I spent thousands the last 6months, almost 80k worth of testing. Learned alot that wasnt wrong with me way before getting close to the cause.
