I had a brain Injury and my first neurologist said I had partial seizures and he's very knowledgeable he now specializes in MS. Then I had another doctor says I had non-epieptic seizures. And then when l was in the hospital they said seizures again and I was told I had many seizures. Is this normal? I was diagnosed with encephalitis and autoimmune encephalitis and I read that you could have seizures. But when they do the EEG it comes back normal. And I read it can come back normal but you can still have seizures. Is this also true?

Hi Techie - your life has changed so much I bet. Seizures can vary in number and type and quite a bit. I believe the stats say that they show 20 to 30 % of the time on an eeg. They try to capture the seizures sometimes on a sleep deprived eeg. Regardless, I am sure what you would like is control of them. There are Brain Injury organizations and I would suggest you contact a local one for support and counseling . They understand all of the facets of your trauma.
