My best friend recently started having seizures. As of two days ago, actually, and they've been getting worse. It went from staring into nothing and not responding to full on seizing and jerking and unable to respond or comprehend anything. we went to the ER when it started, because she was having chest pain, and the nurses watched her start seizing, numerous times, and still dismissed it as just anxiety. (we were at Queen of the Valley hospital btw, that place is cold and dismissive to every concern you may ever have) She's been diagnosed with anxiety for a while, and it's never done this. What can I do to help, or to get her the help she needs?
