That and so that
Hi. I happen to think we can replace the word "that" (Is that a conjunction?) with the words "so that" in this case. Is that right or wrong?
He often has seizures that he often hurts himself.
He often has seizures that he often hurts himself.

Neither is good. 'That' alone does not work at all, and 'so that' seems rather weak. I suggest: He often has seizures and injures himself.

Hi. What is the difference between the sentence you introduced (wrote), "
He has so many seizures that he often injures himself." (as one of your two sentences) and the sentence I introduced, which is "He often has seizures that he often hurts himself."?
In your sentence, would you say the word "that" functions as a conjunction?
Thank you for your anticipated help.
