Thanks for posting on HCM
From your description for your husband's condition it is clear that your husband is suffering from a neurologic disorder. Your husband could be suffering from early signs of multiple sclerosis, encephalomyelitis, CNS Vasculitis, Lyme Disease, lupus Erythematosus. spastic paraparesis. Behçet Syndrome, Sarcoidosis etc.
You need to convince your husband to go to hospital before his condition complicates. The doctor would need to investigate his condition more by doing a lumbar puncture, MRI/CT scan, blood panel tests.
Analgesia to treat the headache could be started.
Hope this helps
