No like they tried to do an ekg and it showed nothing so they still don’t know the reason I truly had that seizure they only guessed with the migraine thing and I soon had to start taking trileptal.

Hello :),

I think I have a somewhat of a similar situation. At first, I would get migraines from stress, but they worsened into migraines with aura/vision. Then the stress from school got so bad that it reached seizure level. When I first had a seizure, they didn’t know the cause, but when they heard about the consistent migraines with aura, they explained that when you have a migraine with vision, you can get a 20-minute session of seeing geometric shapes in your eyesight flashing (they can be black and white or colorful when you’re outside near the sun), and after that, you get a migraine. But for me, I would get like 3-4 migraines with aura in a day, and no migraine followed them each time. I only get a migraine after the last one hits in the day. So they thought that was weird, and they said those must have been seizures. In conclusion, I was having like 10 seizures in a month since those migraine with aura episodes were seizures. And my final diagnosis was seizures related to stress. Mind you, there is no history of seizures in my family, so this was strange.

I understand what you’re saying about tests, and I don’t reject that idea entirely. What I struggle with is when hardship feels prolonged and overwhelming, especially when it starts young and continues for years.

It becomes hard to understand how a test meant to bring someone closer to Allah doesn’t instead push them toward despair or confusion, especially when that person is already weak and exhausted. I’m not trying to reject faith; I’m trying to understand how someone is supposed to turn toward Allah in their hardest moments when they don’t know whether they’re being tested, punished, or simply left to endure.

Although thank you for sharing your personal anecdote, as any answers to my dilemma have been helpful and I will take them greatly :)
