Welcome to Connect, @hosey70
I can imagine how hard this is for your husband and for you. Here a few related discussions you might like to read on Connect:
- Released from the hospital for "episodes". All tests clear. Confused https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/i-was-recently-released-from-the-hospital-for-episodes-all-testing-came/
- Conversion disorder with pseudoseizures (PNES) https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/well-i-hope-i-can-be-of-help-in-2009-i-had/
Hosey, what do you do when your husband is having an episode? How do you help keep him safe?

so his reg doctor said we might need to go to mayo to see what the doctors there think. i am afraid they will just look over the records of all the er visits test and notes from all the many doctors he sees and say the same thing. with no help. he use to be a forman and a firefighter now he is off balance when he walks sometimes and he is confused about normal things he would have no problems with. so he retired and us on disability. i feel the seizures or attacks he has are making these things worse. just feel bad he is going thur this.

i make sure he isnt gonna hit anything or fall then i talk to him his neurologist gave me diazepam to give him to help stop them. but he holds his breath looks like he is being zapped his legs and arm arm stretched out fist are tight and he holds his breath. they look so painful sometimes i can get him to swallow pill between them. his last for 30 to an hour sometimes he has one comes out of it goes right back over and over. i dont want to not get him to er and something more happens
