What Causes Slurred Speech, Tremors And Seizures?

My husband has been to the ER several times, had several different neurologist look at him and can t find out what is wrong with him. He is getting worse. He gets worse in the evenings. He has a lazy eye,slurred words,tremors (sometimes), seizures ( on medication for this), and has short term memory loss. He cannot hold down a job because of this. He blacks out and loses track of time. He is 54 and was healthy until this started 4 years ago.

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

I would like to know the tests performed by your husband. His symptoms are suggestive for a neuro-degenerative disorder.
A myastenic syndrome can not be excluded either.
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing some tests (if he has not performed them already):
- a brain MRI study
- complete blood count
- Vitamin D, vitamin B12 and Vitamin B1 plasma levels
- a repetitive nerve stimulation and a nerve conduction study
- a spinal tap may be necessary.
You should discuss with his doctor on the above tests.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
