Q: nonepileptic seizures
asked by: destinydavis on March 6th, 2009

i did alot of research to find out wahts been happening to me, and i found some articles on another medical site about nonepileptic seizures. they can be caused by a traumatic event, or series ofevents. The descriptions of the siezures sounds exactly what im haveing. it said that they can have the same symptoms as epileptic seizures and are easily misdiagnosed. I believe thats what ive been having and the only treatment to make it stop is counseling of some sort, and sorting through my emotions. it said theres no medication that will stop it, so should i just not go to the doctors or should i still go. ive been having them for over 2 weeks, and i even get them during school now in classes. its very embarassing. the attacks are not as often, but they are worse when they do happen, like i completely lost all control in my legs and fell to the floor the other day, and usually i am fine at school until i get home, but i got one at school. i told my dad about them, and we dont have health insurance, so unless its necessary i cant go to the doctors. is there any information that could be helpful in my dealing with this? any suggestions of ways to deal with emotional traumatic events so i dont get attacks? thank you.

I have had two non epileptic seizures since November. You have been given some incorrect advise - you need to be on anti-seizure medication. In Texas one cannot drive for six months after having a seizure - are you driving? I take Topamax and have found a doctor that has determined my seizures were brought on by an imbalance in my body chemistry which we are fixing through supplements. I too have some emotional things which may have contributed and also find that dropping barometric pressure causes severe headache recently - all very strange - best of luck.
