Dec 3, 2008 - well then in that case...would this also mean they would treat it as if they were having epellepsy or not?

morphonite Says:

Dec 21, 2008 - pseudoseizures not treated like epilepsy because 1.not responsive to anticonvulsant meds 2.not associated with neuro problem like brain tumor, can't be operated on 3.since underlying cause is psychological requires psych followup. for person witnessing pseudoseizure, there is not much that can be done, but no risk of seizure becoming 'grand mal' and damaging the brain, nor risk of biting tongue or wetting bed. still there is the risk of injuring oneself during a seizure so just watch out.

Feb 10, 2009 - LADjsim: It don't react to epilepsy treatment - that's why it is so important to find out the underlying cause. It can be as serious a disorder as epilepsy and the right diagnosis can pinpoint the right treatment.

Feb 18, 2009 - epileptic seizures can show normal on an eeg DURING a seizure. Non-Invasive EEG (no probe stuck down inside the brain) does not show seizures deep inside of the brain. If the seizure does not expand to within the range of the surface probes it will not show up. Also many seizures on my video eeg were only caught by the computer analysis not the doctors or technicians. As a result i was for years misdiagnosed and accused by teachers of "faking it".

jonahansen Says:

Mar 2, 2009 - Good point. Problems with subcortical structures could be hard to diagnose and may account for some of the PNES events; they just don't show up with standard EEG diagnostics.

Mymusic4God Says:

Jul 12, 2009 - They are still real seizures, just non-epileptic. I was having them when I hit my head on the ice. The seizures can be caused by trauma to the head. I am so much better now!

Daisy72762 Says:

Jul 28, 2009 - Pseudoseizures are just doctors way of saying they dont know what is causing it and saying its all in your head and that you are just trying to get attention!!!! ive been going thru this for 3 years now@!!!!!

supchells Says:

Aug 7, 2009 - I was just recently kicked in the head by horse and started haveing seizures. the doctors told me i was having pseudoseizures due to anxiaty and stress. Im very afraid of them, the doctors were able to enduse a seizure by haveing me hyperventilate. Now they want me to go see a physcologist and go on meds because they say i have to much stress. PLease tell me do u still have the seizures? and what are u doing to manage them? please write back!!

PersimmonOX Says:

Aug 21, 2009 - Daisy72762, I feel for you. Not a funny thing you have been going through. PNES is not docs way to say they don't know. Or that you just want attention. There are so many conditions that might cause seiz. (e.g. hypoglycaemia) yet not epileptic ones. Different seiz., diff. treatment. So the docs must find the underlying cause. It was 8 years b4 I myself found the reason why I still had seiz.. Docs didn't. In my case it was due to food intolerance. I was overmedicated and that caused seiz.

moriachik1 Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - Real medical conditions will cause a real seizure. Real seizures are an electrical disturbance in the brain, affecting part of or all of it. If there is no electrical disturbance, it's not, repeat, NOT a real seizure!! PNES is either some kind of conversion disorder, or a desperate cry for attention. Ask a doc...

PersimmonOX Says:

Sep 2, 2009 - moriachik1, the crux of the matter is the word EPILEPTIC seiz.. PNES IS a medical condition. But it is not epilepsy. Some heart problems can cause epileptiform seiz. - but they're not epileptic. Even epileptics occasionally have a real epileptic seiz. without the disturbed brainpattern that is usual. So this isn't a simple question. It's PNES when there aren't other organic causes to the seiz.. It's easy to diagnose too early and thus harm the patient. Listen around 2.14 and 3.15 in the video.

sabrinamusic2715 Says:

Sep 27, 2009 - Converision Disorder is very serious. It's not really something to joke about. I have it. I get these pseudoseizures. The disorder is extremely rare and when this happens to me.. it's not just my arm... it's my whole body. And it's something that just happens. People, like me, with this disorder don't fake it or just want attention. You get this feeling like you are about to die from a seizure meanwhile, in the end, you sleep for a whole day after.. and it goes away.

kaazoom Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - A lot of theory about repressed emotions etc, but where is the proof. Psychogenic is just another way of doctors saying they don't know what is going wrong, so we'll blame the patient!
