Isn't it possible to have seizures without being classified as an epileptic, though?

I wouldn't even know how to get started with seeing an integrative doctor because, as I said earlier, I think my GP is getting sick of me asking for referrals. Within the past week, I've already asked her for a referral to a cardiologist and to a new neurologist. There is an "integrative medicine" doctor who is somehow associated with my acupuncturist, but I'm really confused on their connection. The clinic website mentions the both of them in the "About Us" section, but I've never seen the other guy around the clinic. I guess I can ask acu-man, but I don't want to come across as "I don't really think you know what you're doing, so why don't you tell me more about this other guy?" Apparently, I care too much about what practitioners think of me.
