Hi Everyone,
I sometimes feel like I am going to go "crazy" because of so many unknowns over the past two years. I started having seizures (grand mal) at very high altitude 2 years ago. Since then I had numerous partial seizures that sometimes lead into grand mal ones if not stopped with anti-seizure medication.
For the past 10 months I have been on anti-seizure medication that have all but eliminated my seizures. However, I cannot find a neurologist to agree with me having "real" seizures because they don't show up on an EEG. They want to say that I must have unresolved trauma, or that I am extremely anxious. Neither scenario is true. However, when I mention that the anti-seizure medication have controlled the seizures the neurologists say that in some cases anti-seizure medication works for some psychological issues. I just don't get it!
Anyone else experience this type of situation?
