I have a severe siezure disorder...need some advice

Basically you are doing the right thing with family history and photos, also keep a diary of any of the attacks - what happens, when it happens, what you are doing prior to the attack. Also witness reports are very useful in diagnosis.

Ask for an EEG as that will measure the elecrical activity in the brain. The EEG is used as one of the major tests for diagnosing Epilepsy.

It is concerning that she wont admit that you have Epilepsy, yet is using drugs to control it - you really need to get to the bottom of that and asking for an EEG is a step in the direction. Also an MRI or a CT scan might be useful in your case. Its unclear in your question, but do you ahve seizures after you have been awake for days on end? In this case ask for a sleep-deprived EEG. The other option would be to go into hospital for 24/48 hours and have an EEG and Video telemetry.

A high percentage of Epilepsy is idiopathic in nature - in that no known cause is found. If you arent having any form of seizures - then you dont have Epilepsy - you have another neurological or possibly psychological condition - such as None Epileptic seizures.
