Seizures
Hello,
My name is Cherise and I have been having seizures since I was 16yrs. old. Up until then, I never experienced anything close to a seizure whatsoever. The closest I think was when I fainted in church when I was about 6 or 7. But, fainting and having a seizure are 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES. Anyway, when I turned 16, I was in Las Vegas with my family, and had just gotten out of the shower. What happened after that, I could not tell you because I honestly don't know. I just remember my mom handing me a cup of orange juice to balance out my blood sugar. Ever since that morning, I have had numerous tests done to pin-point the cause to the seizures. But unfortunately, I still don't have any answers. I am 22 now, and still occasionally suffer through these fits. My question to you is: Has anyone come to you in this same regard? That is, has anyone ever asked you the same questions I am? Like, what could be the cause(s) to these seizures?? It has been frustrating,and painful for 6yrs. now and no doctor has been able to help me. I am starting to think that maybe it's not something medical. That maybe it's either something spiritual, or psychological. Let me know what your thoughts are on this.
Thank You,
Cherise

It is actually fairly common for people to experience seizures- it doesn't mean that anything is wrong with you. There are several types of seizures, and each type can cause people to exhibit different symptoms. Trust me, this is not psychological. It could be a number of things. You will need to see a Neurologist and explain all of your symptoms, your history of seizures, etc., and then they will do an EEG (monitors electric activity in your brain).
I had developmental seizures from ages 11-16. I was put on medication for that time, and haven't had a seizure since I was 16. Medication helps to control seizures, and after a while, some people (like me) just grow out of it and no longer have to take meds. If you think you are experiencing seizures, then you should definitely talk to a Neurologist ( they specialize in brain activity/seizures), or have one referred to you by your own doctor.
What exactly happens to you during these fits? If you are having a seizure, then you can lose control of your body and even lose consciousness for a little while- the symptoms are different for different kinds of seizures. You need to see a specialist, neurologist and get some sort of test done, especially an EEG, and maybe also an MRI, to see what could be causing this. No matter what, be completely honest with your doctor and tell them about any and all symptoms you have had. See a specialist, if needed. If you have any questions, message me.

I had questions similar, but not one like this. How much stress do you go through daily? That might have something to do with it. OR has something shocked you before these things occurred? Look for common ground. And if you think it's spiritual go to church, read the bible and do things like that.
