@moonlit_kit: This is just a little vent of frustrations I’ve been having with my seizure care lately. If anyone knows anything about psychogenic non epileptic seizures and whether any medications work to reduce seizures for that condition, please let me know in the comments! #chronicillness #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesstiktok #invisibleillness #invisibleillnessawareness #invisibledisability #disabled #disabilityawareness #disabilityadvocate #disabilitytiktok #disabilitypride #seizures #seizure #seizuresawareness #nonepilepticseizure #PNES #pnesseizure

it really feels like they refuse to diagnose you to keep you coming back. Like why would a dr refuse to diagnose you if the real true answer is there... its all about money it seems.. 😭😭

yo, this 100% reminds me/matches what a doctor told me when I went to find why the heck my hand was numbing, cramping and tingling. He checked me up, we did EKG, etc and he said it could be

I'm hypermobile with fibro, pots, pnes. I was diagnosed by a neurologist with FND (PNES has high rate of symptom occurrence here). What actually did help was super low dose amitryptiline (1)

Preach! My new Neuro just mentioned I had PNES, removed medication and sent me to a therapist. I had the worst seizure of my life 2 days later 😔

There is actually no evidence that they are psychologically responsible, so they should drop the P.

How did they determine you had PNES? I have convulsive pre/syncope and I shake when I pass out but now I’m wondering if it’s actually seizures!

Sounds like when I was put on Topiramate. every neuro doc I’ve encountered has been awful. Idk what it is but they need to do better. I hope you find a competent one. Your health is top priority!

Time to find a new doctor, one who listens and hears you and who puts you at ease. Chronic illness is so hard to manage and good specialists are rare. HUGS.

I either get hemiplegic migraines or PNES. There isn’t a great way to dx either, mostly it’s symptom based. Either way lorazepam shortens them when it happens and Qulipta stops most from happening.

But yes my biggest problem with doctors is the fact that they push medications that have horrible side effects and don’t even work and it seems like you don’t even have a say in what’s being put into

Correct ✅ they usually have you seek therapy, meditation and etc but because everyone with nes has different triggers there’s no real this is a medicine that helps type of deal.

I’m not a healthcare professional but it’s probably because since there’s no good treatment, they’re trying to find something that might work. I have felt like that in the past with my medical history

Hey :) I dealt with this a few years back (my episodes were actually POTS related tho) but I’ve been down the whole PNES/ epilepsy rabbit hole before.

In terms of your doctor putting it in your medical chart I recommend saying that you understand that risks in it being in your medical chart 1)

My daughter is epileptic. I hate having her on seizure meds. The side effects are horrible. The only med we have found that has little side effects so far is Epidiolex which is the first FDA approved

So wait, hold up. If there is something wrong with the vasculature of blood pathways to brain they’re still considering it PNES?!

EEG results can be fine even if you have epilepsy. EEG shows how your brain is sending electrical signals during the test, not after or before. There may be a need for an extensive EEG to be done.

THIS. I have PNES, and it's taken YEARS to hear that as a diagnosis. I had 1 doc who did the "ur just anxious and need to calm down" and 1 doc like yours. My current neuropsych FINALLY started helping

hun, all you need is one EEG to dictate whether or not ur seizures are ELECTRICAL & if ur EEG is normal than ITS PNES💯

I get these usually back to back for a few hours at a time. probably from a combo of my MS and disgusting mental health. the only thing Ive been given that helps shorten them so far is diazepam

oh my gosh, if my neuro tells me one more time I just need to be "less stressed". I have adrenergic POTS and it doesn't matter if mentally you aren't "stressed" your body will still hormone dump

I'm familiar with Clonazepam which helps with Seizures & also anxiety/mental distress. So taking it may help that psych trigger event from happening

my seizure like episodes were ruled out as epilepsy, it's actually dystonic storms triggered by the nerve damage from POTs.

I been told this for 4 years now “It’s either therapy or anxiety or depression medicine for your case.” Therapy helps so much but when you have 20-30 pnes a month it is so frustrating 🥺

So, my understanding is that PNES is an outdated diagnostic term, and typically the diagnosis now is either NEAD or FND. That being said, refusing to give you any diagnosis because he doesn’t agree
