Hi, I have been having seizures for 17 years; I was diagnosed with complex partial with secondary generalized. I have been observed having seizures by doctors, neurologists, oh, and anyone you can think of... I have had every kind of eeg in the world, and all show an abnormailty, but none show a seizure even if I have had one. I have had neurologists question the ligitimicy of my seizures, one wanted to call my seizures "psudoseizures". (Fake seizures.) This diagnosis was pitched... and I was returned to just being the girl with complex partial seizure disorder... bla bla bla. A new neurologist wants me to have another video eeg, (pointless in my opinion, my damage can be seen via ct scan and mri) my question for you is what is a deep seeded seizure? There are seizures that they cannot detect via eeg? Should I go a head and do this test for the 10millionth time? Please forgive my rambelings, but this has really started to make me question my sanity. Can you help?
