kels, my wife is a type 1 diabetic with a host of other medical problems and yes seizures are one of them. It is kinda scary but a good Neurologist will find the cause and with proper medication the seizures will go away or become less frequent/severe. You and your wife will be in my prayers. Hang in there as you are not alone...you have an extended family pulling for you!Originally Posted by kels

Definition of a veteran:
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."
That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Yeah, the wife is home.
I went and got her from the hospital tonight.
They believe the seizures were from a lack of sodium
and potassium?. She was very low on both.
This is not as uncommon as you think, but is more common
in older folks.
Either way, I just glad she is home.:DThis is the simplest way to explain the difference between the new guy and an old timer.

I hope all is well. The condition she had is something my Dad suffered from years ago. We also thought it was a stroke because of his symptoms.

Glad she's doing better and is at home. Seems like it something fairly simple to fix?

That must have been scary. I'm only 14, but I'm lucky I've never had to call 911.

I'm very glad to hear your wife is home, and that her diagnosis is good!
Potassium, amazing little mineral.
