“Seizures getting worse?”
I have had seizures for 6 years with no help. I didn't go to hospital or doctors. Recently about 6 months ago the seizure and fainting got worse told my GP and they aren't helping me. Neurology is no help, my GP won't see me about my seizures or talk about it either. I'm getting worried and seeking advice as my seizures are all kinds and got to the point it goes over five minutes and up to 20 minutes. I am on my own sometimes when I have them. I have about 6 or more a day and it's impacting my life. No medications.

It sounds like you need to be on medication. Please contact and Neurologist ASAP. You may have to figure out what type of seizures you have. Whatever you don't drive or swim or bathe without someone being home.
You need to change GP call your insurance but being 17 a parent or guardian needs to help you do this. Idk what state you live in but please get to an ER just tell them you have seizures and they will work you up. It is not something to joke around with.

I am sorry to hear all of this. My first question back to you would be why the neurologist is not helping or helpful? If they are not listening or willing to work with you it may be worth getting another opinion if your able. I noticed that you stated your not on any medication. With how many seizures you are having you definitely need to be on some form of medication as that’s what is going to help stop and control the seizures.
