I am a 30 year old female that has been having symptoms of siezure activity for about 11/2 year now. I have been to a neurologist who after explaining to him all my symptoms, from the arm going numb, hearing mumbling and seeing black in front of me and then waking up on the ground tired with a bad headach. He told me I have I believe partial complex, or something like that. Well the other day I was seizing so bad that my neighbors called an ambulance to take me to the hospital and this Dr. that I had did a two min. assessment of me and told me in a rude way, that I was faking and not even doing a good job at it and if he sees me back in here again he will call dmv and get my license taken away. Two of my neighbors are a nurse and EMT they said that there is know way with as fast as I was moving my head that is possible to do that unless they where real and they even said that to them they where real. Two weeks ago I went in to my neurologist and told him to take me off all medication I am tired of this, I was doing great for 7 months on depakote 1000 mg. then I had two break through seizures and automatically they upped my meds to 1500 mg. and I started having more problems. I am really starting to doubt my dr. about these seizure amd I really crazy and just have some kind of emotional problem? He told me I was not crazy that we are going to do another 48 hour EEG but the last one showed nothing and I think that it's a waste of time to do another one and want to cancel the appt. and maybe I should just start seeing a counselor so I can get off this medication that I can't stand taking. The way it's eplained to me when someone sees me go into an episode, my head is shaking violently and I almost go into the fetal position and tighten up very tight and make weird noises and smack my lips together. Is this the sign of a psuedoseizure? If any one can help please let me know. I really want to get off of this medication if it is not needed and just get what ever this is undercontrol and lead a normal life again after almost two years. Another things someone told me is that it could be some movement disorder. I have never heard of it before but it mimics seizures.
