Last week I was in and out of ERs, hospitals, and doctor offices. I had been turned away, left with not answers, and then finally told I was having seizures by a neurologist who was paying attention. No one quite knows yet what it causing them or what exactly I have. My family is freaking out and I seem to be the only one who is staying calm and seeking answers. I was not put on any seizure medication because they do not know yet if it could be epilepsy or what. Im not sure what to think of it all or why the doctors have always been so quick to turn me away. After almost two years Ive finally been told what is going on with me to a short extent. Im supposed to see a different neurologist in April to try to rule out epilepsy. They think it could be that or it could be a type of nonepilectic seizure brought on by stress or extreme emotional upset.

Im only 23. I have a 2 year old son. I just want to know whats going on. During the last seizure I had I blacked out and stopped breathing....twice. Im scared to death that this could kill me before I reach my answers. I dont want my child to be without a mother. Im so confused and being so strong for my family but at the same time I need someone to talk to that is outside of the family circle.
