Seizures due to fibromyalgia

Hello,

I recently have been told that I have fibromyalgia. I had a seizure just a few weeks after my blood tests show something that would make me have to see a specialist. I had a seizure a year ago ,and I thought that could have been a side affect from the psychotropics. I have been off the prescriptions from quite some time. I had a seizure recently and believe my nervous system is overactive. I am no doctor.......but I am having chronic nerve pain...and stress triggers my flare ups. I want to find a research clinic nearby and know what I can do to get assistance since I can't afford treatment for my condition(s). Thank you for taking the time and reading this....God bless

Before I went on disability for fibro and other issues I had great insurance. I was DX with non epileptic seizures. I had seen a lot of specialists with no concrete answers......I just said no more eeg's, MRI's, no more sleep studies etc.

The worse my pain becomes or the greater my anxiety they manifest themselves. Recently after an injury they were so bad my Dr. sent me to another neurologist who felt they were due to the pain and anxiety just as I always thought. I never lose consciousness so I just live with them.....pacing and simplifying my life helps.
