Milestones

I would like there to be funding to train all NHS staff on what to do and how to manage non epileptic seizures (NES) because they are different to epileptic seizures and we may be accused of faking because we are not epileptic.

I suffer from non epileptic seizures and when I’m in hospital my stress levels are high meaning I have multiple seizures a day. Stress is a huge trigger for NES. I feel staff never know what to do or how to handle it.
