Summer Camp for Non-Epileptic Seizures

Thu, 01/01/2015 - 15:46

Hi! I have two variations of non-epileptic seizures caused by PTSD that went undiagnosed for many years. I am fifteen and happy except for the seizures. It's weird not having anyone to talk to, and I want to meet other kids with seizures even if they have a different seizure disorder. I've been wanting to go to summer camp, but some camps require a primary diagnosis of Epilepsy and others just say seizure disorder. Does anyone know if I am eligible to go to summer camp? :) Thanks!!
