psychogenic seizure

This is what my doctors call a psychogenic seizure. I am fully conscious and have the ability to communicate to some degree. I am not an epileptic and my doctors are not sure what is causing these tremors. I was just diagnosed with Lyme Disease and I am so confused I have a positive test, but my neurologist says I don't have it. The keep telling me that it is psychological, but my symptoms are that of latent lyme disease.

They hurt I was just diagnosed with Neurological Lyme disease, and I have a movement disorder on top of that so they are calling them convulsions. Normal seizures can last 15 minutes the longest convulsion I have had has been 2 and 1/2 hours, and I have had 12 convulsions in a day, so the psychiatrist told the neurologist that I do not have PNES

Yes I was working and no I usually don't have any warning when then come on. My seizures usually start with pain. My Jaw can pull almost out of the socket from my muscles contracting, and then pretty fast the muscle down my back and the rest of my body begin to contract causing the seizures. It sucks I am onm FMLA until my doctors can diagnosis what I have

this is not,i repeat not psychogenic.i'm wondering if this may not be spinal myoclonic seizures.or do you have lyme disease.you need a truley full neurological evaluation including functional or spect mri during and before and after one of these seizures.i do hope you find the real cause and that you receive the proper treatment.hugs of encouragement to you.

I have Tardive Dystonia and now have been diagnosed with Functional Dystonia/ previously named psychogenic dystonia. Feel free to check out my page. I have posted some of the "storms" that I have been having lately . I never had Lyme disease but I know where my Functional dystonia is coming from and now I have to deal with it. Hang in there! It has to get better!!! 8-) Kym

I'm with ya girl. subcortical seizures make me freeze up and I can't come out of them. without medications. I went over 8hrs once b/f meds were given. I can hear what everyone is saying but I can't respond. Yep all them doctors say it's all in my head and I need counseling. YEAH RIGHT! LYME DISEASE is real and so are the co-infections.

I hope you have found a really good Lyme Literate MD or ND that works with this. I'm not over it yet myself. May God bring you healing + out of distress.

@kbelle1980 Simple partial seizures and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures can be hard to diagnose. I had a medication start to cause these same symptoms, but got off of it before it caused any real neurological damage. Yours could very well be from the Lyme. I would get it checked out immediately, and see doc. after doc. to make sure you get diagnosed properly. Good luck, sweetie.
