Are you blindly stumbling down unfamiliar paths created by living with epilepsy? Are you looking for answers as the caretaker of someone who has seizures? Is your world abnormal due to seizures? Are you witnessing irrational behaviors and unable to find an answer to them? Are you living behind closed doors and smothered by misunderstanding? Have you decided your fate is sealed and stopped looking for answers? My name is Lola Jines-Burritt and I will never stop seeking answers. My husband, Charley, and I began our journey with his epilepsy in 1980. I observed every imaginable aspect of epilepsy for twenty-six years. My goal is to educate others and prevent them from experiencing the misery we lived due to seizures. Every answer I found concerning being a caretaker and living with a person who has clusters of seizures, psychosis and brain surgery is within this book. Whether you are coping with seizures as a caretaker or person who has epilepsy the information in Epilepsy Unveiled is valuable. Everyone dealing with epilepsy needs to be able to recognize the behaviors clusters of seizures and psychosis create. Recent medical studies state that twenty-five to fifty percent of people who have seizures for a period of more than twelve to fifteen years will suffer with some degree of psychosis. Other research states at least six to ten percent of people who presently have epilepsy suffer with some degree of psychosis. Up to now you may never have dealt with clusters of seizures or psychosis, but you might be tomorrow. If the person you are taking care of has clusters of seizures you need to know the signs. If your seizure situation spins out of control due to psychosis you need the ability to recognize psychotic behaviors. This book also contains information to help with: Recognizing different seizure types and responding to them; Being a competent caretaker while sheltering the one you love; Finding balance between being protective and promoting individuality for the person who has seizures; Adjusting to epilepsy as a caretaker and a person who suffers with seizures; Managing the public and medical community; Identifying clusters of seizures and understanding psychosis; Paralleling medical terms with recognizable psychotic behaviors; Comprehending delusions and identifying hallucinations; Preparing for all aspects of brain surgery including the steps before and adjustments afterward; Finding hope and inspiration through reading the story of a man who fought seizures for twenty-four years and won.
