Same exact thing happened when I was 6 then they thought it was an attitude issue then it got worse I saw a psychiatrist they said it was more then that and they did an mri and found the adenoma then the seizures got worse was diagnosed with epilepsy not long after

My mom was diagnosed with chemical depression, when really, it was bipolar!

Oh yeah I went into the doctor for my first grand mal seizure and they thought I had passed out because my period was so heavy that they tried putting me on birth control even though I knew it wasn’t because of my period. 3 more seizures and 6 months later i’m in the E.R. where they tell me they think i had a grand mal seizure, a week later they diagnosed me with epilepsy. It really pissed me off. how could the doctors be soooo wrong? I’m sorry you went through that. you shouldn’t have. doctors should do more tests instead of just basing their diagnosis’s off of a theory.

THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME

Yeah unfortunately absence seizures are misdiagnosed a lot

I was diagnosed with grand male epilepsy at 10 and put on Tegratol for it. After 6 years of having hundreds of petit mal fits a day and, effectively, being a zombie, I found out at 16 that I actually had petit mal and was finally put on Epilim, the correct medication.
