Good Day All
My seizures started after the "neurological event" in June 2009 that landed me in the hospital for 10 days. Neurologist believes I had mild stroke or nervous breakdown due to stress. Between June 2009 and February 2010 a lot of which I have no memory, I had to be taken by ambulance 3 times to the ER for seizures. I have had only one event since back in 2015 but it was mild compared to before and ii was too stubborn to let my friend call 911 on that one just because I did not want any more medical bills.
I have seen many a Neurologist and Psychiatrist and all other specialists. None were really much help except one Psychiatrist with whom I really connected and he was the one that made the diagnosis for me that I had PTSD.
I have learned to control my seizures through changing the way I think, Breathing, listening to music, Meditation and other means to calm me. I only use a Benzo to control my anxiety but it is constant battle. It's like I can always feel it in the back of my mind the feeling of the seizure and the possibility of another.
I got more details in my PTSD thread but that's pretty much it..
Peace All
