Thanks Cazzz, it'd be interesting to know if a CT scan can 'rule out' epilepsy.. I'd not thought of that.
Seeing as many doctors as I have, I guess I should have more faith.... I think the problem is, or its my impression - this having been the first time I've needed the NHS - that the doctors dont seem that thorough, even if they are, and don't communicate very well. You'd have thought they'd have started having a list of possible causes, prioritised the most likely and then the most serious, and worked their way through the list by a process of elimination until they found a cause or ruled out all known possible causes.
If doctors do work like this, then it'd be great if they communicated that and if they don't work like that, then I can imagine the reason they dont can only be for reasons of time and resources.... either way, you're right in saying about stress levels... unless you know for certain what is wrong with you, it really can get you stressed and end up being a vicious circle....
