Epilepsy No Abnormal Brain Waves. Fits From Deep Subconcious
Posted: 03-12-06 01:12am

Dear all.
Hi I have been having seizures now for almost 3 yrs and I have seen 3 neurologists. I am on antiseizure medication. But I still have seizures. I average 17 - 20 per month. Most are grand mal type. I recently had a video eeg study for a week in hospital. Now I have seen my neurologist and I have my reports back. He has began to reduce one of my meds because the report showed I was to highly medicated. Also there were no signes of epilepsy anywhere throught my stay there. I am sad and I dont know what to do now. My neurologist believes that my epilepsy is now undercontroll. Although he also thinks that my subconcious is acting out ( wanting to bring something from my past to my attention) so I have to also beging seeing a profesional to talk to. I am glad that I am seen as not a fake. The report showed that my seizures are very real seizures although the ones that I had while in the hospital were not caused by abnormal brain activity they were caused by deep subconcious problems. Does anyone else out there have these same problems. If so please I would love to chat and share stories.

I am sorry that the findings were not what you expected. Psychogenic are indeed "real" seizures in that they are not faked but do come from something deep in your subconscious. It is not too uncommon to have epileptic as well as psychogenic. They often respond very well to therapy and learning de stressing techniques.

Have you shown abnormal activity in prior eegs during seizures?


I hope that you can find others who have been through this. I know there are a few who come to www.Efa.Org at the ecommunities there who have both types.

I really hope that you can get this kind controlled as well!
