Apparently I'm Only Half Crazy...

 I finally got back to my neurologist, and found out the results of my tests. And as usual, my lack of faith in modern medicine has been justified.
Apparently I'm having both epileptic and non-epileptic seizures, but the two I had while under observation were both non-epileptic. The way it was described to me is that epileptic seizures are little lightning storms in your brain, whole the others are sort of full-body muscle spasms that are triggered by something else, like stress, allergies, etc.
So. Now I'm getting the double thrill of taking reduced seizure meds while seeing a counselor in hopes of finding out what is triggering them. My first guess: The fact that I'm still having the "normal" seizures is stressing me out!
*Ahem* Anyways, that's where I stand after literally $12,000+ in tests. No serious change in my status, but hey, at least I know I'm not just crazy. Right?

...Right?

From the counseling aspect of it. If I can, in theory, have my seizure rates lowered simply by talking to a complete stranger, it sort of implies I'm a touch bit unhinged.

Heh. I openly admit to being a fairly high-functioning sociopath with a wide streak of paranoia. To me, all of you are quite sane.  :)

Uh huh. I'll beg to differ. Maybe not in my case (although I'll reserve judgement) but I've seen some pretty nutso people wander through these halls...
