Hi.. I was experiencing strange things almost 2 years ago. I noticed my right leg feeling very tired. A few months later my arms felt the same way. Noticed strange and tiring sensations in my eyes. Went to ER...all kinda of testa and came back normal. Then had uncontrollable body movements that lasted from a few minutes to up to an hour. Either way I fell asleep for hours afterwards. Saw 12 nuerologists in 11 mionths..Cat scans...full body MRIs..EEGs..portable EEGs..they had no answer except to tell me that it was non- epileptic seizures. Told me not medical and nothing can be done for it. In the mean time my eyes are still the onset to seizures. Had them checked by optometrist..all good..asked about my double vision..was told I don't have it. In the mean time I have seizures all day long..worse when driving as my eyes start to go. Lost one of my 2 jobs because of it. Seizures are painful but I've learned to control body movements..I also cant talk or breathe through them. Holding for some advice
