Ok my boyfriend who I have been with for almost two years now, was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was 3 months old, now his neurologist is trying to tell us that he is having non epileptic seisures, is that truly even possible when he's had epilepsy since he was 3 months old? I know stress can cause the supposed episodes but what could posssibly cause a NES at 3 months old, especially when the doctor said he had epilepsy due to lack of oxygen to the brain when his mother had him, and is there anything we can do? Please help because I would really like to choke the doctor that he has now that works with his head?

Thanks, Tracey

You might want to get a second opinion from another neurologist, and make sure he reviews your b/f's historical medical records. For info on non-epileptic seizures, check this link: http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/answerplace/Life/adults/women/Professional/nonepileptic.cfm

I would take a list of questions in to the doc the next time you go and ask him how he came to the conclusion that his patient is having non-epileptic seizures after all this time. But stay calm, you need answers from this guy. I had a doctor essentially make the same presumption when I asked for a second opinion after my first grand mal, and I clearly had an EEG with evidence of seizure activity.
