Seizures two

1 Reply

I was diagnosed with epilepsy ten years ago after I had two major seizures at work. Had some infrequently since age 21. I was never properly diagnosed until the seizures at work, when I was sent to Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Department" and was diagnosed in the last few years with post traumatic stress disorder. My seizures at work involved my convulsing, totally unaware of everything, screaming, acting out sexual actions. I was pushed into early retirement after that. I could have worked at least five more years. Under great stress at home now with husband. My epilepsy doctor team expressed they have difficulty seeing what is an epileptic seizure and what is a psychogenic seizure. Maybe not important. I look forward to feedback. Thanks in advance.

So sorry to hear about your troubles Inkling........ It sounds like an ordeal for you. I hope you can be cured/helped and the Clinic can do something for you. I have been having seizures infrequently for the past couple of years, mainly at night, and have been diagnosed as 'probably'!? epileptic, although I feel it may be stress. Good luck and I hope you are ok x
