In Our Words: Personal Accounts of Living with Non-Epileptic Seizures (The Brainstorms Series) Unabridged Edition

It is vital to hear stories of others with non-epileptic seizures as I am newly diagnosed. To hear their journeys and how things are different for many, but we share things in common. The book includes stories from around the world and honesty, inspiration and validation for what this condition is like. The index is very valuable, and I am grateful for this book!

In this powerful text which features so many brave volunteers who share their experiences of living with PNES (either as a patient or a caregiver), you cannot help but see the humanity of these individuals. Some of the contributions are filled with sadness and hopelessness, others have “fight” in them and challenge the disorder they have been afflicted with and how others perceive and treat them, and yet others come across with a message of hope. All together this is a beautiful and touching compilation of voices that anyone who reads it, will come away with a much more profound understanding of this disorder and what living with it entails. Highly recommend!

This is a great book to help spread awareness about Pnes! It amazes me how unaware even the medical profession is about Psychogenic non epileptic seizures. I have Pnes and one of the writings in this book is mine. I live in Chicago where there presently are no doctors that I or my neurologist know of who treat Pnes. I pray that this book will give help and comfort to all with this debilitating illness.

This is an excellent book about Non- epileptic seizures from stories of those who live through this journey.

This is not the first in the collection I have read. It is a good feeling to know you are not alone in this.

Useful to read about others experiences

Very inspiring great read
