All of my symptoms seem to be similar to the non-epileptic, pseudo epileptic, anxiety- related epileptic seizures. However my eeg same back abnormal showing epileptiform activity. Any ideas/ suggestions?
 
First off, PNES would not show up as abnormal activity. However, waveforms can be abnormal but not necessarily indicative of seizure activity.
You had mentioned in another thread that the nurse phoned you with the report of epileptiform activity. If I were you, I would wait to talk to the neurologist - the one who actually interpreted the EEG - before getting too concerned at this stage. There is always room for error of interpretation when getting the information second hand.
