I have Tonic-Clonic seizures every 2 weeks. I'm 51 and have been having them for 10 years now.

The past year ive been thinking of doing it. Im glad to hear it has sone kind of a positive affect and hope it gets even better for you 😊

Hi! I recently got diagnosed and I've been doing some research. I found an article that said if I go without a seizure for two years I won't need to take medication anymore and will essentially be cured. How true is this?

Since 2012
I was told I have Grand Mal and other Seizure Disorders one of them called Pseudoseizures . Anyone else ever hear of this? I'm told it's hard to diagnose and often gone undiagnosed or is missed. My family and I was just grasping the Grand Mal Seizures now there's more to try and sort thru?
I agree especially with MarKC - thanks for reminding me of ' non epileptic seizures' I've also heard of them being called ' pseudoseizures' too
