Oh Garney -- I hope this is the best for you. It is the ONLY thing that matters I don't understand any of it.
I don't see any diffference between a non-epileptic seizure and an epileptic seizure. To me - a seizure is a seizure.
And I don't understand you being taken off your meds permanently that fast. ~sigh~ But we all know I'm not very smart.
I'm wishing you well. Please stay in touch. God bless.

Gosh sweet Garney, I'm with Jingle, a seizure is a seizure. I hope they can give you more answers once they analyze the data. I will keep you in my prayers. Big hugs dearie.

Oh, Garney, I'm worried about you! How are you feeling and doing? I can't believe the doctor just took you off all your meds.....I'm assuming because your seizure episodes weren't showing up as abnormal neurological spiking? Is that why he said they "weren't seizures"? Had the medication been helping prevent your "non-seizures"? Dang, who cares what's causing them as long as you are having them, if the medication was working!!

FWIW, I suspect more and more that my seizures are due to chemical imbalances and not something inherantly wrong with my brain. My endo changes some endocrine meds and I've been having nocturnal panic attack-like seizures (partials? simples?) and "head trembles" almost every night. I have hardly had a single good night's sleep in two weeks. (I see my neuro tomorrow). Changed my body chemistry slightly and blammo. Oh, and sure, stress makes it worse. But that doesn't mean that I therefore shouldn't be on my two AEDs!

I really hope you are okay without your meds. Personally, I would seek out a second opinion, but all that matters is how YOU are doing. Take care!

Footprints -- Of course, I'm very interested in every word that's said here. You said you were in hospital for veeg for TWO days ?? Good grief. No wonder you didn't have any. Being taken off meds for two days doesn't have to have a big impact that fast.
Even at my age (61 then) my sz came at an almost catamenial (impossible) schedule and I've had no triggers BUT my hospital told me I would be there for 7 to 14 days. Seven to Fourteen. They expected it to be 7 days before they forced me to have a seizure. I did have two within 4 days so they could do MORE MRIs and let me go home.

Garney -- All of us want to drive so much but what if you have a non-epileptic seizure while driving? That's so scary. I know it's none of my business and I'll shut up now. But I'll keep praying for you.

I went back to work today. I am still having episodes of feeling out of the surroundings then back. Also still other symptoms as before. This has been going on since I left the hosp. I am guessing maybe it will take time for all meds to get out of system? As some of you have mentioned, how safe will it really be to drive. I am a bit hesitant, I will not drive this week though. I think that this has now turned into a wait and see what happens next.
Footprints how terrible that you are going through that . I hope you get answers tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a good week

Garney
