What if someone had a seizure, but the doctors find nothing in the ct scan?

Hi! I also have functional non epileptic seizures amd funnily enough don’t fulfil any of those criteria. Even when under video EEG they said they could only tell be the complete absence of epileptiform activity on the EEG (they caught 20+ generalised tonic-clonic seizures so it was clear). Also every time I get brought to the ER, both the emergency doctor and the doctors in the ER always think it must be epileptic. I find it really interesting in what way the brain works. I’ve got severe FND and the more research that comes out, the more interesting it gets!

When my boyfriend has a seizure he told me that he loses control of his body and that's all that he remembers until he wakes up.
But his blood pressure gets very high and he has to be sedated until blood pressure comes down then he wakes up.
He has had several and has even fallen down a flight of stairs.
Does his stress levels have anything to do with this??

Omg, never go to r/seizures… I legit joined thinking it would be folks with epilepsy talking ab the randomness that it is…. Nope. I finally turned off the notifications for it cause it was just a bunch of people asking if what they had was a seizure or not. I got tired of writing “go see a neurologist if you think you’re having seizures. We aren’t doctors.”

Hey doctor every time I go to the ER the doctors seem to not care or think I’m faking and asking the nurses if they witnessed it but the Nurses speak their concerns are more concerned and helpful but they still seem not to care and they keep misdiagnosing me with both conditions you mentioned in the video it’s very frustrating this has been going on for 8 months now

I actually suffer from dissociative seizures. It’s crazy. I remember everything, but I don’t remember the night when I wake up. From what others say I speak with a different accent and completely different. I’m glad that I’m not the only one

I have FND and my seizures can come on quickly and are not connected to emotions. It really annoys me that people say they are always connected to emotions because in my case they are not. Mine are when I am tired, ill or hormonal cycle linked. Instead my doctors just tell me not to get stressed when it is nothing to do with it!

One night when i still lived with my parents i had a grand mall seizure. When i woke up that morning i knew i had a seizure coz my whole body ached, dislocated my shoulder ect. So i like to sleep naked, they told me i walked into their room into the middle of the night naked and just stared at them all out of it. I dont know i thing about that, i still think they're messing with me, but they swear to me it happend. I think the seizure messed with my subconscious, triggering a sleep walk. Though I've never sleep walked in my life.

I really don't think this exists to be honest because someone who has a seizure and has epilepsy it doesn't always show up on the tests like the ECG. I really don't believe it, it doesn't make sense to me.
