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
Has anyone had side effects with certain foods, with your medications. Cause ever since I started taken lamitical I cant eat any of the spanish beans I used eat. Which is weird. It used to be fine when I ate spanish beans with rice but ever since I started taken lamitical for my seizures is that a side effect or no?
I'm on that but I'm just getting immune to every medicine 😢 I wouldn't take Felbamate
So I'm going back to college. I start on August 11th. Here's my deal though. I've been in and out of college since I graduated in 2009 because of Epilepsy problems.

I have had epilepsy since I was 14 and I haven’t had a grand mal for about four years, I now just have partial seizures, but I was taking a nap when the big seizure happened and all I remember was waking up in the hospital. Ever since then every time I have partial seizures I am always scared to sleep because I’m scared I’m going to wake up in the hospital again. This week was especially rough with my epilepsy, I was unable to work for four days due to the ways my partial seizures affected me… read more
