I have been told by my neurologist that I have psychogenic seizures. The seizures manifest themselves in the form of a staring spell in which my eyes micro-focus and my eyes actually feel like they are locked into staring at a tiny spec on the ceiling but I can avert my gaze but everywhere I look I am still micro-focusing on tiny itty bitty details in my environment. My eyes physically feel different.. It takes several hours to go away and the only remedy is to shade all light from my eyes and try to go to sleep for at least a good hour or two. It is maddening and so inconvenient to leading a spontaneous life. I don't drive at night because the staring spells usually happen in the evening when I am tired and my brain is tired. Stress, bright lights or flashing lights can trigger them... Now I've had to stop drinking ANY alcohol because it tends to bring them on. Also ciggarettes can spur them as well. I have quit smoking about 2 years ago but every now and then I relapse but I always return to abstaining from smoking.
Does anyone have this particular kind of seizure? And if so, how do you cope with it? Is EMDR effective for this kind of seizure? Also, what of bio-feedback?
