    Mother won't accept my seizure diagnosis??

    This is probably going to sound absolutely insane (which it is), but my mother doesn't want to acknowledge that I really am having temporal lobe seizures. The reason for her denial seems to be that over the past 2 years of her own health issues, she's gotten sucked a little too far into the...

    I can't take not knowing anymore!!!

    I've been tired and having some sort of seizures at night for years now. It's been terrible, scary and I haven't felt rested at all. Doctors say it's epilepsy, then they say it's not, then they say it might be... And if it is not epilepsy then it must be PNES as if those are the only two...

    Your EEGs have been normal, you have no diagnosis what did your Neurologist do next?

    Okay, let's say your first two EEGs have been normal so you have no diagnosis yet, what did your Neurologist do next?

I hear in the EEG they will try to induce seizures in suspected epileptics like me, and I can't say I'm overly excited about that part. I've read a lot online about the "things to do" beforehand and stuff...
