nocturna and daytime seizures

So you hate dealing with any of it and/or you don't care. With your post it seems you do care and want your issues resolved.National Seizure Disorders Foundation (NSDF)has come face to face with the question “PNES, is it a seizure disorder or neurological mystery?Many times people with PNES have seizures which mimic grand mal and other types of seizures. Research is still being done.&nbsp;The VEEG which is generally a 4-5 day EEG while being videoed show the seizures if any are seen. The EEG will also ge showing the electrical impulses going off in the brain. With the VEEG a diagnosis can be made by an eleptologist who will say one way ot hte other. Mis diagnosises are made some going one way&nbsp; and others the other way.&nbsp;A few quick facts:<ul><li>PNES attacks are sometimes called pseudoseizures, “psychogenic non-epileptic seizures” (PNES) is now the preferred term.</li><li>PNES are the most common condition misdiagnosed as epilepsy.</li><li>PNES are not rare, with a frequency comparable to multiple sclerosis.</li><li>In general, 1 in 5 of patients sent to epilepsy centers for difficult seizures is found to have PNES instead of epileptic seizures</li><li>75 % of PNES survivors are women</li><li>Most reliable test to make the diagnosis is long term EEG-video monitoring with which diagnosis can be made with a nearly 100% certainty.</li><li>About 80% seizure survivors have been misdiagnosed because much of the diagnosis relies on descriptions reported by observers.</li><li>Upon correct diagnosis it is reported about 10% of PNES survivors also have epilepsy</li></ul>
