My daughter is 28 years old, doing great work out every morning, living life good, then one afternoon, went to work and felt sick, pass out and start having something like seizures. Went to the hospital, the run all tests MRI, blood work, EEG, everything come back normal. So they are saying that she has pseudo seizures that's been almost three weeks ago. Now she's having blinks of the eyes and the eyes kind of roll back in the head and she's also having jerking motions, and some think her muscles tights up and problem with her left side. She's also having trouble with memory. They want to say that this is psuedo seizure. She's seeing a therapist, but she still have these what every at least 20 times a day. Any Advice were to do next?

Hi Dajonna,

I would get another opinion from the first doctor to take another look at your daughter's case. If he will not then go to another neurologist that specializes in epilepsy.

Have all of the MRI, blood work, EEG, etc faxed, mailed etc sent to the doctor you are getting the second opinion from. Make sure when you call the original doctor you are updating him/her of your daughter's current medical situation. Record these "seizures" with an iphone if possible and let the doctor see them. Record the time of day every time they occur and what she does, eyes, motions, etc. Call her therapist and make sure they are aware as well of what is going on and see is they are witnessing any of these.

Make sure your daughter is eating regular meals, is on a regular sleep routine and decreasing her stress as much as possible. Multivitamins and complex B vitamins are helpful and healthy. I would keep her from driving. It does not sound like you have found many answers for her yet, so keep on it until you have the answers you need. Keep us posted as other people read these postings for help too.
