Has anyone been misdiagnosed with NEAD and later been diagnosed with epilepsy?
Sat, 09/03/2005 - 08:30Has anyone been misdiagnosed with NEAD and later been diagnosed with epilepsy?
I ask this as I have been diagnosed with non-epileptic attacks after having one normal eeg and am concerned that very few people have actually seen an attack other than my fiance (there is more info on this on my blog) and no doctor has witnessed one. The other thing I am curious about is how common an occurance it is for someone to be misdiagnosed so I would greatly appreciate to hear from anyone who has.
