pseudoseizures

Hi. About year ago I was diagnosed with pseudoseizures when one afternoon I started convulsing and hallucinating after taking a few hits of cannabis. Nothing was wrong with the weed itself, as I smoked more of it the next day without any negative side effects. What was strange about the...

Hello. Beyond greetings, I'm really not sure where to begin, how much to include, or even what to say regarding my convoluted history with epilepsy. I'm not yet sure what to feel. I spent fourteen years (exactly half of my life) coping with bizarre episodes I now know were seizures. I was...

Ok. I hope I don't sound too crazy. I am 27. I had my first Tonic Clonic seizure at age 21. After having another seizure and a short hospitalisation was diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy and placed on medication. AEDs have been changed over the years but for the most part it has been...
