Does anyone have any experience with this? My daughter was at the park with her boyfriend and my grandson and had a seizure.....she ended up in 2 ICU's having seizures because they could not get them to stop. These were very scary seizures.....eyes rolled back, toung biting..etc...Ended up at the ICU at a university hospital and they did the EEG.

She is not epileptic. They told me these seizures are caused by emotional disturbance, but they are real seizures (she is not faking). Moved her and my grandson in with us for a few months as she was not able to drive. However, she made some bad choices while here and I took her home (after she was seizure free for 3 weeks). She lost her new job (hasn't worked in 7 years). I just don't know what to think.

This was definitely a very physical seizure (we all saw it in the hospital). They are saying that stress and psychological issues can cause this. She was very sick when she first came to live with us and I had to hire our neighbor to watch our grandson....the last few weeks...her behavior was simply not wanting to be responsible for anything (staying up all night partying with the neighbors and sleeping in the next day when we both had to get up for work).

Any advice would be appreciated......I am just so distraught and lost.....

Thanks,
Susan
