I came across your post and was doubly alarmed, first for your state of health, you really should take a break and check yourself more often.
Second because sometimes it has happened to me that I am too focused on work, taking on all the pressure and I feel my blood pressure deteriorating or stress in my stomach...so it's about reaching a balance: being workaholics has high risks, and being aware of it is a step forward.
We like what we do, but the body has in biological mechanism that warns that something is wrong.
Let's stop, and configure the time of use of our capabilities, there will always be small adjustments to make in order to live and work better.
Best wishes for your recovery...it was a pleasure to read you.

Words and advices always mean a lot, so thank you. I always try to find balance, but sometimes it’s difficult. I need to stay calm for my Crohn’s disease, but on the other hand, I need to stay active because of epilepsy. If my body experiences a little bit of stress, my seizures are less likely to happen, but when my body relaxes too much, that’s when problems arise. Balancing these two very different conditions isn’t easy.Sometimes it’s hard to explain because I still don’t fully understand how to find the right balance for my body. This time, I really forgot to listen to it. When I feel good and healthy, I just want to forget that my body doesn’t always work as it should. So I keep going as long as I can.Thank you for stopping by…🫶
Your condition is really complicated.
My husband is epileptic and they only happen to him during sleep, in case he stops his treatment, or overdoes it one day drinking alcoholic beverages, which of course he shouldn't do.
I hope he recovers soon, any care is too little, although we women are usually very disciplined and careful with our body and health.
There is a lot of life still ahead.

Epilepsy can be so unpredictable. I understand what your husband is going through. I think, so far, I’ve only had two or three seizures in my sleep, but I always wake up on the floor with broken teeth or bumps on my head. It’s hard to respond quickly enough to sit down when I feel a seizure coming. And yes, alcohol isn’t great, but in small doses, it seems manageable. Take beer away from a man, though, and you might see worse things happen!;) People sometimes forget what partners go through as well, the pain of watching someone they love having a seizure and feeling helpless. Hearing my husband’s calm words during those moments really helps me, and I’m so grateful. Wishing all the best to your husband, and to you too, for being so supportive!
My legs are still shaking from the strong impression I got from the last attack that happened to you...luckily it was quite some time ago, so I understand your husband's feelings and attitude.
Best wishes to you and your husband as well.
