Help(ADHD/Frontal Lobe/Epiliptic)

New postby Mr. Smith on Sun Jul 24, 2011 5:27 pm

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was like 6 or 7. They've done brain scans & found a white spot in my frontal lobe were their is apparently no brain tissue their & because of this I get electrical discharges or "mini epileptic episodes" from time to time. Externally, it looks like I've blanked out or my consciousness turned off for about a second or two while I have these "mini epileptic episodes". My first neurologist was the main neurologist at Miami Children's Hospital. Not even he knew what it was & ended up saying that I was fine & that it was nothing to worry about. During that time I was also tested with a 24-hour brain test & the tech. who was working on my case mentioned to me that I don't seem to have normal sleeping phases like most people, that I just go straight into deep sleep all at once. I had a few neurologist after that & then near the end of my Florida Kid Care health insurance coverage, I had a neurologist that was baffled about the fact that my case wasn't studied enough & that I was told that it was nothing to worry about. She ran her test but when my coverage ended at 19 or 20 years old I couldn't afford to see a neurologist any more because I didn't have the money nor my parents did.
No neurologist has been able to identify the reason why I have that spot their. Strangely enough, I actually have a vertical scar on my upper forehead for as long as I can remember. Please, if any student or neurologist reads this; can you maybe explain to me what you think of this?
