What Causes Seizures Only During Sleep?
I have seizures, only in my sleep. All MRI's, EEG's, CAT scans, etc. are normal. I've seen 3 neurologists who can't diagnose or help me. I self-referred to a Sleep Specialist Neurologist and he was able to provide me with some answers. I lose 50% of my oxygen while asleep, I have a problem with my right leg that interferes with my sleep, I have small seizures every 15 minutes and I may sleep for 8 hours but I'm only really asleep for 4 of those 8 hours. He did say it reminded him of sleep apnea but I needed further testing by a neurologist. He only specialized in "sleep" and he'd helped me all he could. Can you help me? This has been going on for 3 years and it's ruining my life. I am also very sleepy "literally".
