I don’t know why my doctors never tell me my diagnoses, but my guess it’s probably focal seizures. It seems i’m photosensitive which sucks a lot. During my first one i think i blacked out so i’m not sure.

Once in a while i get a grand mal seizures. There can be years in-between.

Last time, three years ago, i was riding my bike, got a seizure and ended up in hospital for two days. Looked like a monster. Blood all over.

I have used a helmet ever since

I don’t. My mother would get them. She passed in 2011 in her sleep. I believe she had a seizure… they called it sudden death in sleep.

I have “seizure-like episodes”. One neurologist diagnosed me with focal seizures. And then another neurologist took away that diagnosis and called it “seizure-like episodes”. So, I really don’t know if I actually have seizures or not.

But when I stopped talking to my toxic sister, over a year ago, the seizures stopped! She was stressing me out so badly that I was having tons of seizure-like episodes. I’ve actually only had one since then, which happened because I accidentally drank too much, not understanding how much alcohol some guy put in my margarita. That wasn’t fun.

That’s terrible some people just make us want to suck the life out of us. I’m trying to minimize stressors, stress worsens them just like with psychosis. My doctor asked me if i was sleeping well which i wasn’t so theres that. Sorry if it sounds intrusive but are you still on meds for it? I haven’t found the right med yet.

Sorry you’re having such a hard time. I am not taking meds for it. I did try several different kinds, but they didn’t help. Stress reduction was the key, for me.
