PNES absence siezures

[Rainagain]

Dont know if this has been posted about before.

I have absence seizures, my psych thought it might be narcolepsy or epilepsy.

I've just found an item about PNES at www.epilepsy.com and that's basically what I have.

My psych didn't seem to know it existed.

It often co presents with chronic pain and ptsd, I have chronic pain and cptsd or PTSD.

I'm amazed, another odd symptom turns out to be 'a thing' which is apparently recognised...

Another piece of the puzzle.

Just knowing what the siezures are is so helpful, I didn't know I had them until someone saw me having one, then I didn't know what was happening for over a year.

Having just found out reduces the anxiety somehow, I know what it is, its 'a thing' that happens sometimes due to trauma, no biggie really, just another symptom that I now understand.

I dont have to be able to control them, just knowing what they are is enough for me to work with.
