In general for some people yes these same symptoms can be because of a seizure disorder, for others it isnt..

if you google your symptoms you will find millions upon millions of medical and mental and normal things your symptoms can be.

Im going to be blunt here...I have read your other posts and I see that your doctors have tried to set up tests to find out whats going on in your head, but you keep refusing to go through with doing those tests...

theres a saying in mental health ...you cant help those who wont help their self......

what that means is that your doctors are trying to help you but you refuse their help so of course they cant do anything for you...

welll the same goes for here...we cant diagnose you, it is you that must tell us what your diagnosis's are and what your problems are...

we can tell you whether we have had the same problems and what our own doctors called it in us but theres thousands of members here so that means theres thousands of people who may have the same symptoms but their doctors called the same symptom by thousands of different normal, diseases, disordered things.

if you want help then get those tests done that they are trying to set up for you to do and you keep refusing to do..

the way to get your doctors to help you is by you helping you self by following what your doctors want you to do..
All I asked was whether it was POSSIBLE. If you couldn't answer that simple question, you didn't have to respond at all just to chastise me based on a very old post of mine. I don't refuse to get tests done anymore. That post you pulled up is very old. Yes, I went several years where I didn't have any medical tests done because these symptoms started when I was barely a teenager, and I was terrified and had no support. Not to mention my mom was very sick for many of those years, and I didn't want to burden my family any further when my dad was already always complaining about my mom's medical bills, so I kept the health problems I was having to myself. And yes I was afraid to seek medical treatment as an adult after that because I had waited so long and let my symptoms get so bad, and again, I had no support. Thanks for reminding me of what my situation *used* to be; I've been actively trying to put that behind me so I can focus on getting better now. I wish I could go back in time and change that, but I can't and don't need it used against me now..it only serves to make it even more difficult for me to get help without people judging me for decisions I've made in the past. I've been through many tests since then and have had to fight to get doctors to be willing to give me any tests because they don't think it's necessary to give me them because "I'm young." I've been to two neurologists, and they refuse to test me for seizures. I asked my GP if I could get my hormones tested, and she told me no because there isn't a need to test them. I already mentioned that I've been to two different psychologists who couldn't help. So yes I have to ask questions of people who have had experiences similar to mine because the doctors don't want to help me. All I asked was whether a seizure disorder could account for the issues I have...that did not warrant digging through my old posts and publicly accusing me of not wanting to help myself. Sorry that I have apparently offended you by trying to seek information. I'll leave you alone and will continue to suffer with these issues by myself until I find a doctor who figures out what's going on or figure out a way to fix it myself. This place has not been the supportive environment it is advertised to be for me. I no longer feel welcome nor safe posting here after reading your post and the way you linked something I posted a long time ago for all to see.

I'm going to quit posting here now that you have embarrassed me by pulling up and drawing attention to a very old post of mine. That was unnecessary, and I have requested that a moderator remove the post. Happy Easter. Bye.
