Ok, I finally visited a neuro-immunologist in Chicago this week.
We discussed my symptoms at length, he gave me a brief neuro exam, and pondered what I could be experiencing. He asked numerous questions.
His conclusion? He believed me, and said "I'm sorry, you don't get reflexes like yours just from anxiety. It's real." (Reflexes referring to the neuro test where they hit your knees with a rubber mallet and suchlike.)
I'm so relieved to have met a dr. who believes me. He believes that I either have an autoimmune cerebritis, or severe, painless migraines (which I understand can be similar to seizures in their effects at times). Either way, there is an effective treatment and hope for me in the future.
Thanks for your support and listening,
