I need help for my fiance!

Post a new topicby msjefferson_4 on Fri Dec 28, 2007 10:15 am


I really dont know what to do here. My fiance had a VERY troubled childhood to start with. And about 2 months into our living together he "woke" in the middle of the night insisting that he was seven and I was his mom. I played along and he went back to sleep about 2 hours later. The next night it happened again, same thing, played along, went back to sleep. Well his mom passed away about 3 months ago now, and the sleep walking is 100 times worse. Reverts back to his childhood every time. He has been in counceling since he was 7 (now 22) regarding his childhood. The last episode he wouldnt wake up. He hit his head 4 times and was sleepwalking for about 17 hours. He would wake up and have periods of awakeness. His brother came over for about an hour, and right after he left my fiance was back to sleep walking. He didnt even fall asleep! He was just sitting there and started sleepwalking. We ended up having to take him to the emergency room and they gave him an IV with meds to wake him up and sent him home (after catscans said it was ok). And here I am this morning. Its 8:12am. He was supposed to go to work at 6:00am. And I cant wake him up again. He is just sleeping, just wont wake up. I'm affraid its going to be another emergency room visit. He does not have health insurance so I dont know what to do anymore. The sleeping walking (atleast 4 times a week) has got to stop, but I dont know how. Anyone have any suggestions?
