Negative MRI can I still be having seizures?
Sat, 08/20/2016 - 05:51When I had an MRI or perhaps a CAT scan a few years ago trying to figure out why my legs would randomly give out or why my body would freeze up it came back with no damage shown. Were the doctors correct in definitively stating that I wasn't having seizures? I've been looking at all the symptom stuff and it seems extremely likely that I am having them but I'm still not completely sure. I've kind of given up on doctors in general because of misdxs and taking years and years to dx simple things so I'm unlikely to trust them on this but still. I'm mostly looking into it now cause the paralysis has started up again, though sometimes only in my hands. If anyone has any answers I'd be exceptionally grateful.
MRI' and scans show what they

MRI' and scans show what they are looking at. It nothing is there then it is normal and like everyone elses. If they see something like a brain cell that was deformed then that might cause an issue. If they see a tumor they need to take care of that, If they see scared brain tissue then that can cause issues, My MRI showed scared brain tissue in the left lobes of mu=y brain. The EEG had abnormalities came from the left lobes of my brain.Amy Jo's second comment is correct so read it and start there
