does anyone else suffer with epilepsy caused by pain? ....or is it just me?

I'm 24 and I have had epilepsy for about 5 years now. All my seizures have been pain related but ive never heard anybody else having them through pain! My 1st seizure happened after getting really bad stomach cramps and the 2nd was because i fell and banged my elbow. When i went to hospital for tests and explained to the doctor what caused the seizures he just looked at me funny as if i had made it all up. I have tried to research this but to no avail and i am starting to think i'm the only one. Everyone who asks me what causes my seizures always looks at me oddly when i say pain. I only have to stump my toe or trap my finger in something and im out cold. I just want to know if anyone else has the same pain related seizures so i can relate to them and not feel like an odd ball. I am on medication for this!!!

This happens to my wife. She has had 2 seizures 16 years apart and the last one was last week after hitting her elbow really hard on corner of wall. She immediately felt sick and then had a seizure. Have you found anything out about your condition or why it happens.

Both my daughter and I have this. It seems like we are going to pass out but it is a grand mal seizure. I was on meds for 7 years even though it seemed to be in response to fear, pain, etc. All of our testing is negative and it is very frustrating talking to doctors about it.

Hey, I had siezures every few months from the age of 16. Everytime starting with stomach pain that got increasingly worse until I'd siezure. Come round, throw up. Then I'd just want to sleep an shiver like crazy. In 2 days I will be 12months siezure :) Ive been taking CBD oil. So far so good.
