I too have pseudo seizures mixed with epilepitic activity. Medical people certainly do need to be enlightened on pseudo seizures. Mine are certainly real.
As for your parents,They must ask themselves why their child would "invent" this illness.? I mean why not a brain tumor, or cancer, or HIV. They are certainly more silent, long term diseases. I only mean to imply that my pseudo seizures are as real as any other disease and I would not have to pay outragous medical bills to get attention from my friends and family or cause myself to be in such pain from my muscles tightening up.
My advice to you would be to find a new doctor and a therapist. Both of these professionals should help you balance your life out and add value to your life, otherwise they are not the professionals for you. Good luck...:-)
