So i went to a level 4 Epilepsy Center here in MN, and the Epileptologist says i don't have Epilepsy but my brain is sensitive to seizures. I then had 2 people suggest due to my non-remittant symptoms to get a Lyme Disease test (the upper midwest is one of 3 hotspots for it to occur). Lyme disease can impact brain waves, the nervous system, muscles and joints, memory...etc if it goes into the secondary stages (infection spread throughout the body). Has anyone else with non-specific seizures ever been tested?

I have heard about this in other groups, though I haven't followed it closely as we do not live near areas with high lyme disease. Rebecca has not been tested.
I also have not heard about non-specific seizures. The doctors that we have seen have either wanted to put it in two catagories, Epilepsy or PNES.
So would they change her diagnosis after testing if positive to Seizures due to Lyme disease.
Then that throws out the definition of Epilepsy = two or more seizures.
