my pnes diagnosis came with a 4 day epilepsy monitoring session. my symptoms were never that bad, but my brainwaves are abnormal, and indicative of someone who is hallucinating. most of the time i feel quite normal, but under stress i can get panic attacks and have short memory blackouts. reduce the stress, reduce the symptoms. i am not at all convinced the diagnosis is correct and suspect it has a lot more to do with my sleepwalking disorder. it is like i fall asleep and then start acting out some dream while a minute ago i was awake. since they don't believe that i sleepwalk their diagnosis is suspect. the interesting thing is that i had a sleepwalking episode while being monitored, and they did not believe me.
