Has anyone ever experienced a non-epileptic seizure ? I'm not certain that I have these because I haven't been diagnosed. I've done research though on how different types of stress can be a trigger for a seizure. Things like anxiety, depression, or other mental issues. If anyone has ever experienced these, any imput that you have is greatly appreciated. I think I'm going to start by doing just some general therapies like meditation or yoga, I'm sure there are other things that can be used as… read more

All seizures fall as epilepsy or not?

My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago. Until last June every seizure she had, had been status epilepticus. But last August, she had very mild seizure which lasted only a few seconds. Does that mean that my daughter will stop having seizures in future?

Is it part of my parietal lobe seizures? Maybe focal aware? I have focal unaware mostly (complex partials), also simple focal aware (auras) of rt temporal parietal lobes, and sometimes bilateral to left side temporal parietal lobes also. Anyone ever experience this type of sensation or is it something else??

I have now found out that I have non seizure epilepsy which is something that I never knew existed. Only 1 in 20 have this and I realise that this is what my problems are and has been causing loads of different things like double vision, headaches, shaking and palpitations. Knowing this has really really caused me to find out that I will never drive again as this was my greatest love.

I was just told by someone in an epilepsy group on Facebook that I am part of that if your eyes are closed during a TC seizure then it's not a "real seizure,and the person is faking it" is this right? i no im epileptic im on meds but I'm kinda worried now cos from what people who see my seizures have said is that at the start of my seizures my eyes roll back in my head and my eyes close.

Hello everyone. I am Kitty and was first diagnosed with partial seizures in 2001 after a bad car wreck (know I am old terminology). Three weeks ago after being rushed to the ER, I was told I did not have epilepsy but instead had Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures and even had one doctor tell me I was faking.

My questions are can Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures:

1. Experience symptoms before one of these seizures starts that lets you know it's getting ready to happen
2. Can these types… read more

I am going for further testing Friday. But was told tests taken 15+ years ago were non neurological. However, at that time they put me on non-seizure medications. Like depoakote and dilantin then others until the last few years of Topomax because I get bad migraines. Has anyone else had this happen? Also when I heard music and voice they said I was schizophrenic. Which I was told later by other Drs that I was misdiagnosed.

I've done research on this question and I've found people who have said that there auras bring feelings of well-being, intense serenity, bliss, and “enhanced self-awareness.” They are associated with the impression of time dilation, and can be described as a mystic experience by some people
