Suggest Treatment For Seizure Disorder Where The Patient Talks To Oneself, Hears And Sees Things

I am having seizures but they are not epileptic what kind would they be? My Dr is having an Epileptic EEG test ordered for me but I don t want the epileptic test ordered. I want the test ordered for the other kind of seizures . I also have MS. Do you think that an EEG hour and a half is long enough to determine what is wrong or long enough to make a dx. I am having seizures where I stare for 4 to 5 min. I talk to myself I hear things and see things. I talk to my self and then I pass out for 5-6 min. I shake pretty severely sometimes. What is the kind of seizure test I need to have? My tongue is not coming out of my mouth, it is not epileptic. Right? Please help me I am very scared. I am 38 and I live with my mother. I need to be able to live on my own. I used to be a branch manager of a Library District and the program manager. I have a 17 yr. old son and I want to be a mom! I cant be living in fear of having dissociative disorders, hallucinations, psychotic like episodes. Please help me. My name is XXXX: YYYY@YYYY , 000.000.0000

Hi,
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
First, relax. there is no need to be worried.
Seizures and epilepsy are usually both well controlled with simple medicines.
Second epilepsy is basically repeated seizures. So please relax.
Doing eeg is not a problem. It will only show If something more than medicines need to be done.
I think it would be better if you let the doctors do the tests.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. please feel free to contact us for more information .Best of luck. Dr Saumya Mittal.
