Well... I'm working on it but expect to have something of an uphill struggle. This is because I need to establish that it was a provoked seizure and not an unprovoked/unexplained loss of consciousness or epilepsy. If I can find a doctor/consultant who understands the stress I put my body under, I will stand a better chance of avoiding a misdiagnosis and the horrors that come with it. When I passed out I also took a blow to the head which I feel aggravated the convulsions and possibly added concussion into the mix - hence why I passed out in the ambulance on the way to casualty.
