Seizure/Muscle Spasms
My husband is 30 and yesterday had a severe seizure. His body tensed up, and his eyes rolled in the back of his head and then he started compulsiving and spitting up. I believe this was a seizure. After wards he became very combative and was very confused. He doesn't remember the seizuee at all. The doctor said that it was due to substances abuse. (Alcohol and marijuana)
Then today he began to have excessive spit and his jaw tensed up, as long with his left leg they said this was muscle spasms. They didn't give a cause but gave us meds to give him. He has had a car scan and bloodwork done.
My husband did binge drink over the weekend and he was smoking marijuana all week. But could this really be the cause of his seizure and muscle spasms? Also, is there anything we can do to prevent this from happening again?

Hi Kimberly, I have followed your posts and your life- to an extend- all along
and I must admit that half of me is totally amazed with how you process
these rather serious events while the other half of me is very saddened seeing how matters unfold for you.
I sense that you are avoiding the topic of rehabilitation (for him), professional counselling (for both), AA meetings (for him), AL- ANON (for you).
Is it perhaps the fear of confrontation, not knowing how he will react to your suggestion, or something else? You know this will not go away on its own.
Prayer sometimes get answered indirectly. Like having your husband back,
may mean that he needs first to seek professional help, before he can really be back! And his work to rehabilitate will be for life. Everyday, with no excuses from either one of you.
There's no such thing as just one beer, or just one joint.
It's like saying"I'm just a little pregnant" or: "I don't lie all the time", well you get the idea.
If he continues on and off with weed or alcohol or both,
is he really back with you? or back with his addictions?
So when we pray, we must be absolutely clear and honest.
Do you want your husband back at any cost? No matter what, right? because this is exactly what you're getting.
You must assume the Leadership in this marriage, if you want to not only survive as a married couple, but to flourish, so you can be happy and do good in your lives, instead of all this chaos. That is not God's will!
God wants Everyone to do well and this takes hard work my dear.
And tough love. Do not make it too easy for your husband to continue on a path of sin. He cannot be left in charge of the marriage, that's definite.
Have you in a way trained your husband to disrespect you
and to do as he pleases, knowing that you will always love him and always take him back? The seizure was a warning, not only for him, but also for you. The Lord has spoken! I think you need to "get" this message.
What would you do if he had sustained permanent brain damage and became disabled? Would you be able to forgive yourself, knowing that you could have done something to prevent it? Like really pursuing a PROPER solution to his addictions and professional therapy, leaving no room for him opting out. And if he does.... well I already talked about it previously.
All in your hands.
If there's another similar incident again, it may be not be as uneventful,
as this one. It might be the last one.

You have work to do Kimberly!
Your strong faith,will help you along the way.

Dear niko,
God has me. I do believe that my husbands drinking had a big part in my husbands seizure. Mainly because he binged drank the weekend before it happened. But he is trying to pull away from the drinking. He did drink on Saturday. But since then he has had his chances and hasn't. I am sure he does still need help, but I am just trying to trust God does have a plan for the both of us. Because this last time when I took My husband back, it was very unexpected. I think God brought him back so I can help him.
He has been saying he wants to grow up. He also been on a search for happiness. I talked to him about when he was truly happy. He asked if I was telling him to be happy he just needed to work and stay home. I said no what I am saying is when you were the happiest was when you were sober, and working for God. My husband is a Godly man that is battling himself, and God. The seizure I trust was just God trying to wake him up.
I also believe he may have had two in the past 9 yrs but they were minor ones. He had a black out spell when he was driving at this job the first time. He only blacked out for a moment but doctors said that could be a seizure. In January he was driving me to work and took a turn he didn't need to. I called to him twice before he snapped to that he was going the wrong way. I am not sure but could that be a seizure. I would think it was similiar to a black out.
My life isn't being destroyed. I am still doing for me. But yes I am trying to be there for him and trust in The Lord that he will be the husband that I married again one day. I believe maybe this was an eye opener for his family. They realize now that he has a problem. Prayerfully I am believing that this will help us all to get him to straighten up. His mom showed him what seizures look like it brought tears to my husbands eyes. It also made him think.
God us with us. I am going to continue to pray and believe in his plan and will in our lives.

It is a deadly combination! This is probably a shock to his brain and his body and it's a manifestation of serious addiction that is way beyond anyone's ability to control. And probably a devastation for you.
From one devastating event to another!!!
Yes you can do something to prevent this from happening again. Arrange an intervention. Find someone professional who is able to do an intervention.
Gather up all the friends and family members that care about him.
Work out all the details carefully with this person.
And if he does not agree to seek treatment and stick with it, as he still has free will and judgement to make the right choice, it is up to you to stay in this relationship and continue on this path, or let him go with your dignity intact, knowing that you did a lot more than what you had to.
Unfortunately, he's taking you down with him and it is so unfair to you.
I see 2 lives being destroyed here and it does not have to be this way.
And You can't fix him! He has to do it on his own.
You are still young and you have a whole life ahead of you
and there is for sure a better plan for you!
If you consider this is serving God's Will and your Higher Purpose,
then you will continue down this road. It is in your hands.
Love & Light
