I'm trying to differentiate between FMS (fibromyalgia) symptoms, PNES (psychogenic non-epileptic seizure) symptoms and simple partial seizures. Basically I've had the chronic pain of my fibromyalgia since I was 12 in 1992 though I was finally diagnosed with it around 2006. I'm 37 years old now.

I wish i had an answer for you. I dont think fibro fog is from a seizure but i am sure the pain from fibro could cause a seizure in someone who has them. The doctrs do prescribe anti seizure drugs for fibro pain, Like neurontin(gabepentin) i believe i had a seizure while i was weaning off of meds but i think it was from the med not fibro. Your doctor shoyld be able to answer these questions for you. We can all give our opinions but they should have the answer. My mom was on seizure meds most of her life from having 2 grandmaul seizures at 14 yrs old. She stopped taking meds at 40 and she is 78 now and never had another seizure since stopping meds. I hope you figure it out and stop having seizures. I know they are scary. Hugs.
