How do you know if a seizure is not really a seizure?
two years ago I had brain surgery to remove scar tissue on my right temporal lobe that were causing my seizures. I have been seizure free for over two years now and I am off most of my medication. What are the odds of the scar tissue coming back.
Good afternoon! My name is Missy. I am 47 years old and have had epilepsy since birth and I am excited to learn about advancements today for the treatment of epilepsy.
Drs in Florida are increasingly diagnosing Epilepsy pts with "pseudo- seizures" which they say is not related to Epilepsy. They appear to be using this diagnosis when not able to produce a seizure under Veeg or regular 3 minute in office eeg. Can you talk about Psuedo-seizures and why the focus on them as the default diagnosis until proven otherwise?
also, can you comment on what a pseudo-seizure actually is and symptoms? Is this a default dx used on patients who have co-occurring seizure and bi-polar disorder?

My daughter has seizures daily. She is on a lot of medicine and has tried just about all medicines. She has a VNS. Now the docs say they are not all seizures there are some movements that might be dystonia movements. I don't understand. Looking for some guidance.
