Hi, @monica5. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Your husband sounds very fortunate to have you as his companion in his Parkinson's journey.

While you're waiting for members to comment on your husband's episodes, you may want to check out these discussions on Mayo Clinic Connect, albeit in other support groups such as Heart & Blood Health:

Hello,
Yes, my husband did the same a couple years ago. Now they say he has absent seizures. He was diagnosed with grand mal/petit mal seizures now. The medications makes him sleepy. So they put him on extended release. He takes several naps some days and other days he doesn't. He can no longer drive and he blames me for it. He said I should not have called rescue when he was starting to go into status epileptic seizures.. I was thankful as he would space out and I would not drive with him. He no longer has he vehicle. His neurologist notified DMV. So he could not drive for 6 months. I parked behind him and hid his keys and mine. He just this year was striped of his driving priviledges. Thank God it came from his neurologist who also deals with seizures.Our son bought our truck...Yeah. He still is mad about for actually the last 3 yrs. He told our Internist that he knows when it is going to happen..he said he could pull over and drive after they stop. Our Dr. said by that time you would probably have killed yourself and your wife or possibly many on the road. He looked at me and glared. I actually said the same several year's ago. He told me yesterday that if I had my way he would stay home all the time. No, I do not want to go out 3-4 × a week to eat out. Too expensive and he eats like someone who is afraid someone will take his food. I am afraid that he will choke and have aspiration pneumonia. He wants me to cook every 2 hrs. I always have snacks, fruit and hi protein drinks. I am going to have to buy some heavy silverware as he has his tremors advancing. Of course, I caused this. I hope I have not discouraged you. This is his journey. I have dealt with seizures with another family member. At least I did not get blamed for it. Today he decides to go out without his walker and walk several blocks away. He came back looking like he was death warmed over. If they want to do what they should not do they do it anyway. I asked him if he would like a Silver Alert. He said no of course. Don't say you are going to sit outside and take off and scare me . He has fallen so many times I cannot remember how many. Watch your spouse closely with his Seizures. They can change quickly or slowly. We have been dealing with his for the last couple of year's. I used to let him take his meds. Not anymore as he cannot remember which or when sometimes. I have been helping him with exercising and helping keep his muscle strength. Everyday is an adventure. He is in Stage 4 +. I say Parkinsons is the gift that seems to keep giving another diagnosis or a ER visit. Hope and praying is all I can do. I am so tired and discouraged. No help and it is all I can do to get up for another day. I try hard to say "I love you"whenever I can. We still laugh and enjoy movements I have taken him on trips to see family. Actually, 2 every year for the last couple of year's. 🫂 to you and your spouse.
