    FAQs ▹
    1.What conditions do I have?
    ‣ I have Tourette's Syndrome, FND and suspected POTS
    2. How tall are you?
    ‣ 5'4"
    3. How old are you?
    ‣ 17
    3. Am I in school?
    ‣ I'm currently studying art, music tech and English at college!
    4. What is FND?
    ‣ fndhope.org/fn...
    5. What is Tourette's?
    ‣ www.cdc.gov/nc...
    -------------------------------
    Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition and disability which causes involuntary movements called tics. I use my platforms on social media such as TikTok, TH-cam and Instagram to advocate and raise awareness for the condition and show what it is like living with a disability as a teen in school.
    My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about tics, tic disorders and what its like to be a teen living with Tourette's syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and a seizure disorder (NEAD/NES).
    I show what its like having tics and Tourettes in class and in school and college, vlog, and I also bake, do other challenges and answer all your questions in Q and A videos.
    I am also an ambulatory wheelchair user so I show what life looks like using various mobility aids and how needs change from day to day!
    I am also a musician! My newest release is my first single (original song) called "She's Mine" which is now available on all streaming services - I sing and play piano, guitar, ukulele and I write, produce, mix and master all my own songs and content myself!

      ​@@LeonSKennedy7777it is real but her seizures are from a psychological origin rather than your classical epileptic origin. An epileptic absence seizure looks similar to this but is slightly different. Both types are involuntary and real, but epileptic absences are caused by electrical activity in the brain changing (it's physiological). In her case, the electrical patterns stay the same, and on a psychological level something changes. Either way she is very brave to share her story and raise awareness, wishing her strong thoughts and admiring her drive to carry on with her day to day activities ❤

    I’m 43 but I remember in 6th grade there was a girl in my class who had something similar. Being nasty children, everyone thought she was faking it for attention. Also the late 80’s and early 90’s we weren’t very informed. I feel guilt when I think back at nobody believing her. Thank you for your videos.

Because it affects my words. Usually try to ignore it. The overheating and the pain. Until I can get safe place. Or find someone that can help me. But its tough. Its a huge struggle.

    I kind of having seizures, it happens once a year, but this year it happened twice; once in my Mom's car, way to college and another one in the campus, in the classroom. My classmates told me, that they're scared and watches me laying on the floor, while thrashing about and screaming or talking incoherent words, and while my lecturer try to calm me down, they call for my parents to help. I woke up after a few hours later and my Mom took me home..
    Since that accident, I become overthinking and anxious around my classmates, scared that if my seizure happened again and scared them. I just feel bad about them, that I'm afraid they don't want to become my friends again..
    I haven't been diagnosed with it tho because of financial problem, but I'm sure I have it, because it happened. It was so sudden and it happened in public place, when before that, it only happened at home and only my family know it..

    I’d never realized seizures were this scary in person until yesterday. My one year old baby brother had a seizure due to a high temperature fever. 106 was the temp. Nothing we did would help get it down. I was terrified, at the age of 13 in hysterics as I voiced my fears to the 911 operator on the phone. My mother was panicking screaming and pleading for him to be okay as we watched his head jerk and I counted his each breathe.
    I’m forever greatful for those who showed up yesterday, they were there within literally 3 minutes. I was terrified to even hold the baby that day. He would shake and shiver and I’d freak out because I was alone as I watched him. My mother was sick, so I was left to the task of babysitting. It was so scary, poor baby.

    I remember in high school I took a ‘bathroom break’ and just started walking the hallways. I go down the stairs and a girl in my grade was having a seizure (apparently they had everyone on lockdown after I left so nobody would see it), a bunch of admins and the nurse around her. None of them thought to support her head, so I took my sweatshirt off and my t shirt went with it. I was pretty hefty at the time, but wasn’t thinking about that, just placed it under her head so she wasn’t banging her head on tile floor. We became really good friends after that.

    I had a period in my life when I used to get daily auras , flashy eyes, and numb hands. I would get a migraine on the opposite side of my head, depending on which hand went numb. One day I had physio on my back, she decided to work on a park of my back that I had no idea was a problem. I screamed when she pressed on it. After working on my mid back with ultra sound and acupuncture, my migraines disappeared. It was life changing.
    I say this because sometimes it might be an underlying physical cause. B4 the physio I was on all sorts of serotonin medication, beta blockers etc. But all it took was a physio to think outside the box.

    I can relate to this 100% I have epilepsy with absent seizures and half the time I can’t talk and I will either stare off into space or I’m making a chewing motion with my mouth, and over the last 2 years I’ve had 13 seizures at school. Last year and the year before all together I missed a total of a whole year of school. The only way to get through it is to keep fighting. I always say to other who have epilepsy is “you are one of the strongest warriors on the planet. Nobody who doesn’t have epilepsy can say anything different. Remember to keep fighting and no matter what you will always win over the fight against epilepsy even if it means you’re in a hospital with an IV in your arm.”

I think you’re going to help a lot of people, both with this and your videos on Tourettes (I think I have a couple tics, so those videos have been especially nice : ) )

      Hi I couldn't help but offer some information which could help, as I work in Neuro with epileptic patients and deal with seizures daily. A seizure is basically abnormal excessive synchronous neuronal activity and usually results from the neurons firing in the way I just described (this is not how the brain usually fires neuronal signals). On a EEG (an electrical brain scan), during a seizure the brain activity will change and seizure patterns will occur during a seizure event. The seizures shown here in this video are what used to be referred to as non-epileptic attacks (NEA)/ and in some contexts, dissociative seziures. They are another class of seizures caused by a psychological origin. On an EEG you will not see a change in the brain activities for NEA, however a patient will visibly be displaying seizure-like symptoms and they are usually unable to control this (it's involuntary), despite the electrical brain activity not actually changing. Both types are real, although there are differences. In a typical Absence seizure usually there is a complete behavioural arrest, the patient will go completely still and stares blankly without any warning, and small ticks and jerks don't usually occur and the patient returns to normal immediately with no residual symptoms afterwards. They usually can't tell they've had one, unless their surroundings make it obvious that they've 'blanked out' for a little while. There are variations of Absence seizures, such as atypical absences where small movements can still occur. The lovely brave person in this video, to my understanding, has non-epileptic absence seizures in keeping with her FND condition, so the symptoms you see in this video are similar but are different from someone diagnosed with epileptic absence seizures. I hope this helps with your understanding ☺️

      FND stands for functional neurological disorder. It can show in many different symptoms such as paralysis, tics and seizures but also many others. It basically comes down to a problem in the nervous system where the brain either isn't sending signals or is sending too many. It's usually described as by using a computer to help so there isn't a problem in the hardware but in the software.
      Hope this helps.

      @@chickencactus1451 it’s not a problem with the nervous system, it is psychological thing where you get physical symptoms as a result of your brain not knowing how to deal with certain stress or emotional problems. It is 100% very real though and people with it have no control over it and it’s not there fault in the slightest

    • @dolphinloser6546

      ​@@picassothedog4011 No, that's a different thing - FND is called Functional Neurological Disorder, because it's Neurological, not Psychological. Psychology involves mental disorders and illnesses, usually resulting from chemical imbalances - Neurology means there's an issue with the brain's wiring itself or the electrical signals it's sending. Not much is known yet on why FND happens, but neuroimaging has shown that for people with FND there are entire sections of brain circuit that don't function correctly - it's not psychological, but neurological.
      This is also the reason that autism, adhd, ocd and others are considered neurological disorders, not mental illnesses - the problem is a result of the brain's circuitry malfunctioning.

    I got TLE diagnosed legitimately for the first time after the started after my 2nd brain surgery for Arachnoid Cyst in 2007 just a few months ago. I thank god i found a doctor who listened to me and prescribed me with a Benzo based Medication. I feel this girls pain because people will call you attention seeking or crazy making you second guess yourself you are having a panic attack. But i hope she is thankful, because there are people out there who have up to 50to 60 attacks a day. God bless you. Also Just remember epilepsy has been considered through out history THE DEVINE ILLNESS. if people like me and her or you lived in the 17th 18th and 19th century we would be burned at the stake. People with epilepsy have a very complex perspective with the world around us especially when it comes to the human consciousness.

    Remember, Guys. Seizures can be different for each individual. I was diagnosed, but every time I have a seizure, it always comes in the form of parasympathetic movements (Nonvoluntary). I jerk my head every time, and it's uncontrollable. It hurts, but I've learned to manage.

    Dear Sister, read some Indian spiritual/Philosophy book( Autobiography of a yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, Living with the Himalayan masters by Swami Rama, Meditation and mantras by Swami Vishnu Devananda). Turn your neurological issue for spiritual upliftment. Else it will be difficult to cope up with life. Also check whether your issue is caused due to food colour (yellow/red) or preservatives (chemicals) which directly affects the nervous system.

    It is a better idea to record a person having a seizure or an animal having a seizure. Because then you can take that video on your phone and show the Doctors or paramedics what is going on. Instead of trying to remember what has happened. And them asking you questions like how long was the seizure and what was the symptoms of the person or animal was having the seizure. So if a person or animal is having a seizure record it or have another person record it so you have a record of it to show Doctors and nurses or paramedics incase you forget a symptom or the duration of the seizure.
