I went by another epilepsy forum today I use to go to all the time haven't been there in a while.I kept myself from saying a few things when I noticed the person that ran it told the person you can start having seizure by hitting your head, not adding anything else to it which I almost did.This person thinks my seizures are all psuedo seizures because most of my sz's because there is not a reason for my sz's they just happen. He's a neuro want a be from England.
 
Hitting head just one of different reasons that may trigger it off.much of the time nobody knows very random condition...It either a brave or idiot doctor who comes out with definite reason
 
Thankfully the use of forceps in childbirth has been pretty much discontinued. Not soon enough for you unfortunately.

Forceps and getting hit on the head can cause the same kind of damage. A baby's skull at that point is not all the way hardened so forceps in the hands of an incompetent OB/GYN for an infant could be like a car crash for an adult.

I wish there was something I could do to help but all I can do is to say don't give up and send you a

I think he will remain a want to be neuro from England. He will never make the grade. If he becomes a neuro, we can be glad that we don't live in England.

Belinda, here is :hugs: from me.
 
Years of participating in epilepsy forums have taught me that it's a mistake to make definitive statements about epilepsy. It's not a "one size fits all" jacket.

Brain scarring is known to be correlated with seizures and brain scarring is a possible result from from head trauma.
 
If all the epileptologist and neuro's I've seen thought it was pseudo sz's they would have said so long ago. My neuro wouldn't have kept sending me to specialist he's far from a dummy.I explained one thing that happened to my neuro I didn't think I had a seizure but I found out it was a focal seizure, I'd never been had a sz before were I was semi consious.
 
For me, my seizures started because of brain scarring, and you can still see the scar on my scalp, because it happened while still in the womb when my skull wasn't fully formed.

So the few people I've had that talk with had tried to tell me that something else happened, I was dropped by a parent or a family member as an infant to make me have seizures because, supposedly, my brain wasn't even formed enough to injure when I had rubbed, or bumped, it against my Mother's rib.

Thankfully I've been able to shut a few of them up just by parting my hair and showing them the scar. And asking them if they'd like to see the pictures I still have that my Grandfather had taken after I was born showing my scar because everyone thought that it would "fade away" as I grew up and had wanted to keep it fresh in everyone's memory.
