I've been feeling so overwhelmed. For the last two weeks I've been going through so much testing. I've done an in office EEG scan and for 5 days I had to carry the EEG device on my head down to my chest. I'm on two different medication and thats been about a month or little less than that now. Next week I'm going to go in for an MRI scanning of my head. For the last 3 yrs the doctors thought I had an anxiety disorder but now that some time have passed and the symptoms have worsen and occuring more often they now feel that it could be seizures. For 3 yrs I felt I could control these episodes that occurs, such as dizzy spells, full blown confusion of what day, time or where I'm at the moment. In the mist of all that I felt so anxious. The doctors now feel that my anxious feelings are not causing the physical symptoms but feeling anxious is now another symptom of seizures. All of this is so overwhelming and I feel I'm losing touch with myself. I've always felt if I had lowered my stress I wouldn't have any of these episodes but now knowing that its seizures and I don't have any affect to when another episode will occur, worries me. I'm hoping that theres someone out there who can understand what I'm going through because I need all the support I could get. Thanks for your time.
