Scared Teen

Tue, 10/03/2017 - 02:02
I've had a sezuire when I was two, four, and eight. Each time I went and saw a neurologist. They all told me that if I didn't have another one in six months, I wouldn't have one for the rest of my life. At age 16, I had another one, and we ignored it. On my 17th birthday I had another one. It's now October of 2017 and I have had over 14 in the past month. We are unsure if I am epileptic or not. When I don't eat, sleep too little, or get to stressed at work, (I am a host at Applebees) I have sezuires. They're random. I am about to have the third EEG of my life and I'm scared. If it's not epilepsy I won't know what to do from here. It should be noted that the sezuires I had when I was 16 and when I turned 17 both happened when I was high on cannabis. Any ideas?
