I Have Seizures

Not fake ones like the doctors have accused me of. I'm not a drain on the healthcare system either. Contrary to popular assumptions about disabilities, I'm a productive member of society.

This is not fun at all, so I would never fake it. Having to beg for medical tests is very humiliating, so I just got the basic ones which confirmed seizure condition but didn't conclusively 100 percent prove epilepsy. It's a struggle to function, but I'm thankful to be able to work.

Honey, try this....go to earthclinic.com, click on “ailments” and you’ll see an alphabet listing. Click on the “S” and find “seizures” under that. Read that whole page. It may really help you. Please get better soon. I hope you get to feeling better real soon.

I'm so sorry! Ridiculous doctors everywhere, acting like gods, treating people like users. I like nurses for a reason very different from all that. Bless you for continuing on, and being confident in what's happening. You know what's going on in your body more than a man or woman with a signed piece of paper can. Keep trusting your body and mind, and God, coz He's got a hand in all this. And hopefully the docs will follow.

Have you had an EEG?

@SW-User Yes I had two, and some abnormal readings and two seizures during the second one, and another seizure after they turned off the machine. One of the technicians exclaimed about it but the other one shut him up. The neurologist said it was inconclusive, and the dr I had at that time kept saying I was faking and should see a psychiatrist instead. It was the same with the heart and lung tests - the drs treated me roughly, acted as if I were faking, and said the results were normal/ borderline/ inconclusive. I've seen psychiatrists several times already and they confirmed that I don't have any major mental disorders.
