AHH! I just saw my neurologist, I have been discharged forever! She diagnosed them as non epileptic attacks and I can join the army and get my licence back! I hope all of you guys are well, you'll be in my thoughts and prayers!
 
Reading your post here I calmly sat back and dreamed... dreamed I was in your place! I really do hope "forever" is the direction for you. Thumbs up and happy for you!

Did she do a thorough examination with an EEG? Was it done at an Epilepsy Clinic by a specialist?
 
I'm so happy for you!!! Especially due to the testing that was done to determine so. Please be sure to follow through with the psych side of it so you don't continue to have the episodes. Here's to the future! *CLINK!*
 
Hello,

It doesn't mean you're discharged from any neurological diseases, to be honest. But at least you don't have epilepsy! I hope you never have to go through anything like this, and that you live a long, happy, and healthy life. I wish I never had epilepsy...

There is not a day that goes by that I wish I was never diagnosed with epilepsy, and sometimes I regret things. Personally I believe in karma, and perhaps, I have done something wrong within my life and this is a punishment. I am not really religious or anything, but I am sort of a Buddhist I guess. Perhaps that's just the depression talking.

Please do not take it for granted, and enjoy your life and try to stay healthy from any diseases! I would do anything, anything at all to undo the diagnosis or do anything for a cure. Perhaps this was a good thing, I don't know I am still young. This encourages me to enjoy life to the fullest, and makes me really angry that I suffer from the disease. It's like I want revenge, and to do that I want to become a medical doctor and help the people who truly suffer from this perhaps specialize in epilepsy and research! That's just how I feel, I don't want other people to suffer from this and if they do at least help completely reduce their seizure to one every few years or zero! I am not in it for the money, I am in it to fight epilepsy and help people that have a poor life. Strange thing is, on the day I went to the hospital I thought to myself I should be a doctor. Maybe it was a good thing, I do not know. We will see what the future holds though. :D

Anyway, good luck! :D
