Anyone suffering from non-epileptic seizures?....

Posted , 2 users are following.

I've been suffering seizures for at least 18months but today they have been confirmed as non-epileptic seizures & I'm feeling really emotional..... Apparently I need to see a psychologist due to having these seizures. Anyone she'd some light have read a little buts it's overwhelming. Thanks.

    Hi Atom ,nice to know someone who has this same problem ,I'm not on medication for this thing they call epilepsy , aura type or what ever its called ,only because I ended up refusing the last lot ,I had so many side affects ,then to get this polymialgia on top of it ,I don't know what to blame , and funny thing this weekend is epilepsy day in Herveybay qld near here too lol , my "turns " I call them seem to turn up about 30days apart , ,so I'm due for another one any time , all I know is (not much ) I do get a warning and a few hours later a stronger one ,then I know to prepare for them , and yes they are scary and happen all through the night , then get less and further apart , nobody wants to listen about them and I don't know what to tell you or what to suggest , maybe some one else on this cht line may have some ideas hey , I hope so anyway , ,

    What I meant to say ,was it takes a week or mire to get over these turns and yes they are scary , I'm thinking of asking my "new g p " if I can cave another EEG just to confirm this problem , and it does make you depressed atom so don't think your loosing your mind , they haven't suggested a psyc.,for me yet , bear up mate , get motivated , I know also how hard that is too , , it helps to just get it off your chest , that's why I joined this forum , and I sure ramble on lol

    Hi there thanks for the replies. I've had another seizure over the weekend & not sure what brings them on but they gave me diazepam this time & seemed to have list test sleeping. sad. Resting up today but feeling actions so off to chill. How often do you have yours?... Are you epileptic? What's polymiagla?... So sorry you have a few health going on too... Perhaps we'll help eachother in some way as my medics are not helping me much at the moment.
