PSEUDO SEIZURES



As the word pseudo suggests the above is not all that it seems. I don't suffer from epilepsy.
 Due to my brain damage from birth when I get stressed or overly happy my damaged synapses do not connect properly and I start to severely tremor. Sometimes outside stimulation such as massaging my scalp will help calm the tremors by stimulating other senses.
During these tremors I am fully conscious and can feel them coming on. I am never in danger of biting my tongue. Generally the tremors last for a couple of minutes but I have had to be taken to hospital a couple of times in the past to stop them. If I tremor too long I do not get enough oxygen and have had to wear an oxygen mask.
