So.. apparently last night my ER doctor tried to convince my Mom that my seizures are pseudoseizures. My mom said, if this is the case.. wouldn't the doctor's we have seen at IU Med Center mentioned this? Wouldn't her normal neuro have mentioned this? My mom was getting annoyed.. ( Kind of off subject but t he doctor asked what I was going to be and when my mom told her a psychiatrist the ER doctor LAUGHED. My mom got really angry, and my mom is the calmest woman in the world. ) She even goes.. "Are YOU a neurologist?!" lol
We get home, I'm extremely out of it because they gave me entirely too much pain medicine, and call my neuro, who says, there are many SIMPLE ways to tell the difference between pseudoseizures and seizures and that is why she has never mentioned them.
I've been reading up on pseudoseizures and my seizures are different from these.. I'm annoyed at the ER doctor for this. *sigh*
Why would she think she knows more than Neurologists at IU Med Center and my Neurologist I see in Evansville?! Grrr!
OH, and the reason I was in the ER to begin with, is I had a grand mal that lasted longer than five minutes and my neuro said I needed my levels checked.
Also.. Im still very out of it. Pretty bruised. Head hurting. And just like.. blah. Sorry if I make no sense. Anyway, since my neuro says she knows I don't have these pseudoseizures, which I still don't get.. can someone explain them more to me? I read on them, but I'm still a little confused. They seem weird.
I had to add.. that for some reason this really upset being. Dealing with all of this has been hard enough, but since I have little understanding of these pseudoseizures which she called to my face "fake seizures" made me sob. It was like having someone tell me I'm faking this. Like oh it's just so hard.. I mean I just got out of a cast from breaking my arm during a seizure! Yeah, I REALLY faked that one. And Ugh I don't know why it upsets me so much.. but it really does. Someone help, please?
