Have been on here previously regarding my fear about having a fit whilst suffering with this anxiety thing.
I don't suffer from Epilepsy but got the thought in my brain one day ages ago that my brain may malfunction because of the increased stress etc.Anyway I mentioned to the doctor on one of my recent vists that this was a fear I had,she just smiled and said I probably wouldn't have one and anxiety didn't cause them anyway,I left feeling a little reasurred.Today I was in the car with my husband and found a first aid book which he got yesterday at work after attending a first aid course,and it says under the heading Epilepsy that tiredness can be a trigger,ANXIETY! and emotional upset,my god I thought that anxiety couldn't contribute,Jesus it's all lies again,one doc says one thing and then you read something that just contradicts everything.I feel a bit anxious about this now and my husband just sighed and said don't believe everything you read,but why would they print it if it wasn't true?it was a first aid book for christ's sake.
I know I shouldn't get myself too worked up about it but I bought a Dr Claire Weekes book not so long ago and she also says that nerves can't bring a fit on either so who do i believe?
Does anybody else have any thought's on this?,I just want to feel reasurred.
