@ Muppey This is Cindy again yes I have found out from Mayo that some of my seizures are caused from PTSD when I was a child I had the wind Knocked out of me and other issues that caused me to have Partial Complex seizures and Psycho Motor Seizures due to not breathing right I have not had a Grand Mal Seizure since I was 23 years old. So Mayo Clinic discovered that I was bringing on these seizures by not breathing correctly so since I have been on Oxygen due to having Pneumonia I have not had any more of these Partial or Psycho Motor Seizures I am able to breathe better if I tense up I still block the O2 from coming in although if I start to panic some how I start to breathe in the 02 from the tank and nothing happens I don't go into a Partial Complex seizure. My regular doctor told me the 02 has nothing to do with it if you are blocking your air way. I didn't know what to say to her. Now I know that the 02 picks up where I left off giving me what I need so I don't have any Auras.This is hard to explain since I am not a doctor I too have been to Grief Groups.

@cindypekarek,
One thing interesting about doctors seems to be their big egos. If they didn't think of it and it's not written in the journals, etc. Then it just can't be.
After my wife ghosted me there were a series of events related to that, which all occurred on the same day. After each event I'd go deeper into shock. It started with my wife never coming home from her appointment and then went downhill from there until I woke up in the hospital at 12:30 the following day.
I had a parade of doctors go through my room and I tried to tell them what the problem was, "A BROKEN HEART"! They waved me off and continued with their tests.
Stick to your guns and keep on breathing. If it works for you then who's to say it doesn't? My brother wanted me to work for him just 4-5 days after all this happened. I told him I was to weak and if I could get rid of this I'd do it now and go to work. It doesn't work that way.
Don't let them push you around and stick to what you know. The smart docs listen to their patient's.
