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.

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.
