Headaches and seizures

[Wildflower7]

35 year old healthy female started having non epilelptic seizures about 6 months ago. The seizures last from one to two minutes and are about every five to ten minutes. She will go a few days without having one and then they start again. She has been  hospitalized and seen many Doctor's (neurologist, psycologist, etc.) all test are normal. We are now pursuing holistic approach as we suspect toxins,as she has been a hair dresser for approximately 18 years with a heavy clientel. She has severe headaches and has had for about 4 years since her last child was born.  Are we on the right track or is there something they are missing?

MAKE SURE THIS PERSON GETS A TOXICOLOGY SCREEN FOR HEAVY METALS
The words non-epileptic seizures (NES) are used to describe seizures that often look like epileptic seizures but which have a different cause. Unlike epileptic seizures they are not caused by changes in brain activity. NES can take different forms and can have a range of causes.
Sometimes it can be very hard to find the reason why non-epileptic seizures start. For some people their NES may happen shortly after a specific stressful event. For others their NES may not start after any particular life event. This can make finding the cause difficult.
Some NES only occur when a person feels stressed or anxious. For other people their NES may start to happen in situations which are not seen as stressful.
Any experiences that we have, whether good or bad, can have a deep and long-lasting effect on us. Everyone has their own way of dealing with their experiences. For some people, the NES they have are their brain's way of dealing with past painful experiences.
The causes of NES may be past experiences such as bereavements, divorce, abuse or other emotional difficulties. On-going stress may also cause them, such as work, family or money worries. Some people may not know the cause of their seizures. Some people may not think stress is a possible cause as it may be a normal part of their life.
The following are some examples of NES with a psychological cause.
Panic attacks can occur in frightening situations or when remembering previous frightening experiences. They can also happen in situations that are expected to be distressing. Panic attacks can be very upsetting for the person having them. They may feel very anxious or frightened as the panic attack starts.
The physical effects of these attacks may include having difficulty breathing, sweating, palpitations (being able to feel your heartbeat) and trembling. The person may also lose consciousness and may have convulsions.
Over time panic attacks may happen even if the person is not in a frightening situation.
Cut off or avoidance attacks
This type of attack happens when a person finds it difficult to cope in a very stressful or emotionally difficult situation. This is more likely to happen when a person does not feel able to say they are finding it hard to cope. As with panic attacks, over time this might even happen in situations that are not stressful.
