A couple of months ago I was diagnosed with something called functional neurological disorder. Which is a condition where a person experiences neurological symptoms (like weakness, seizures, or movement problems) without a structural brain or body issue to explain them. It's essentially a problem with how the brain processes and sends signals, not a physical problem in the brain itself. Last year in april I had gone to national for wrestling in lowa and kept hitting my head which led to me having my first seizures April 10th 2024. I kept having them so often to the point I had to be given a nasal spray to stop them. Eventually the nasal spray didn’t work anymore causing me to go into grand mal ones. I was diagnosed with epilepsy and put on medication which made it even worse therefore causing me to have 4 or more a month. On february 4th I went unit cardiac arrest and stop breathing and cpr was started. Lucky I came back but after a week or two I had another one which cause my blood sugar to be really dangerously low. Which I had to go to denver children hospital for in order to help me. We found out that I don’t have eplisey and my neurologist was actually prescribing more than I needed. Therefore the reason why I would get so sick from my medication. Ever since finding out It won’t be a permanent thing but they don’t know why or what cause it. Is really confusing I haven’t met anyone else with this before so I’m really conflicted. It’s like being told i’m crazy and not at the same time because it’s both neurological and physiological. I would really love it if anyone else has fnd tell me more about it and how they deal with it. Since I really don’t know anyone around me who has it and I’m still trying to really understand how to feel about it.
