I was just diagnosed with simple partial seizures a few weeks ago. I've been having symptoms for 4 years now but thought they were anxiety related. I only brought them up once to a doctor when I was being treated for anxiety and she didn't even look up or stop writing when I mentioned deja vu so I just glossed over it. I always FELT crazy when I explained them to my husband that the first sensation I get is one of deja vu so I never wanted to say that to a doctor. It took until this past Feb. for me to look into it. I was 7 wks pregnant at the time and these episodes started waking me up at night and during the day they seemed to be happening more regularly. I googled anxiety with deja vu and simple partial seizures popped up. I never in a million years thought seizures. I was just looking for a better way to explain the feelings I had to the doctor without sounding like a total nut. Anyway, I made an appt with a neurologist who was very kind and didn't make me feel crazy at all. She said my episodes did sound like seizures and after several appts, some testing and a hospital stay for a video eeg I now have my diagnosis of epilepsy. So you would think after all of this I wouldn't feel crazy explaining to people when they ask about my seizures but I do. Just yesterday at my OB appt. the doctor asked me what was going on and I gave her an update. I never seen her before so she asked to explain my seizures. When I did her eyes got really big and she made a comment that was "weird" and she never heard of a seizure like that before. I felt crazy all over again. Does anyone else feel this way when they explain their seizures? I know I am sensitive about this so maybe it is more me than them. This is all new to me and I am still adjusting. Thank you for reading.
