I have a friend who is faking and I mean for real. He was in ICU and everything and doped up on all kinds of seizure meds and he was diagnosed with pseudo-seizures since he was "in total control over his body" as the ER/neuro nurse told us. He reeked of meds and they basically where trying to get him to physically stop by drugging him up.. insane crap.
He would have a seizure-like episode everytime we came into the room. The nurses didn't come after a while. He would have 20 of these a day!
They were in no way real- but that takes a lot of time and patients and testing to find this out.
Please take care, rest and relax and let us know how things are..
I really hope that you are treated better than you have been.
I cried for a bit, but kept telling him it was pressure in my head. amzing amounts of pressure and not a throbbing like a headache normally is.
