Seizures

Pull his tongue out of mouth and roll him onto his stomach.

I would ask him what one's supposed to do. He's the expert.

He's such a sweet guy .He's a troubled young kid of 30 and needs a friend.I'm going to be that friend and I want to help him.He's not telling me a lot. He's embarrassed and ashamed .It has to do with his past.His childhood and teens were a mess.He doesn't talk about that too much either. But anyways I'm going to try and help him. I can do this right?

Is your name Bill Taylor?

Uh...you're going to have to give us some details to work with, buddy.

How is he a mess? How do you think you can help? Are you dating? Is he moving in? Etc.

The best way you can help him is to make sure that he has the proper medication and he's taking it according to instructions.

Maybe you could keep a few pills at your house for emergencies.

No 30 year old is a "kid." That's a damn grown ass MAN.

That said, take that opportunity during the seizure to top him op. Best ride you'll ever have.

Or, since he's 30, maybe you can tell him to grow up and take responsibility for himself, and his condition.

Ask him what you should do. I had a friend who would sleep over and have seizures in the morning sometimes. I had to stick something between his teeth and take him to the ER a few times.

His youth was a mess.Physical mental abuse from his family,ran away,homeless,alone drugs,and seizures.When the paramedics were here he was crying and bagging not to be hit.Maybe I'm making a big mistake but he touches my heart and I want to do something to make his life a little better.Like being a friend to him. I.want to be all right.Thanks for listening.

Oh lort.....I'd say run. And lock up your silver.

OP, there are different reasons that people have seizures. I've had them, but it's with a huge burden of shame, since they've been part of alcoholic withdrawal. It sounds, with your guy, that it's a genetic problem. In that case, you need to have a frank discussion with him about what you're expected to do. He should have told you that before that happened, although maybe he was counting on that not to happen.

Of coursh not, shilly. We have preshidentsh.

No, don’t do anything with his tongue. Make sure there’s nothing around him that he could hit his head on. If possible, turn him onto his side and put a pillow under his head.

Take the guy to a clinic, ffs. You're not an MD.

Seizures can make the patients bite their tongues so make sure he’s on some meds. Was it a petit mal or grand mal seizure? DTs? Good grief! Do we look like neurologists?!! Is it a pseudoseizure to gain your sympathy? Find the etiology, get treatment and see a darn doctor regularly.

Jeez OP, you also have to worry about how big a responsibility this guy will be. Don’t be Captain Sav-a-ho until the doc clears him or he tries to fix his drinking or whatever. And for heavens’ sake, don’t be a “friend” for sex. I’ve seen it all, listen to me.

Is Savaho near Tuckahoe?

Yes and it’s populated by Arapahos.

Ok, I’m leaving now because you guys are making me laugh. Im taking another codeine.

How much do you know about him? Do you know where he lives? Do you know how he lives? Do you know what he lives on?

[quote] they've been part of alcoholic withdrawal

Interesting! I have an old uncle who has occasional seizures for no reason that any doctor can find. (His wife handles it by smacking him and telling everyone else not to do anything, he’ll be ok - which he always has been so far.) He’s also a huge drinker, of the secretly-empty-the-hosts-liquor-cabinet variety. This makes me wonder if there’s a connection. Can alcohol withdrawal seizures occur suddenly in someone who’s otherwise apparently normal, or do they come as part of a bunch of symptoms?
