Anyone want to share their experience in a EMU? I am scheduled to have a inpatient EEG in a few weeks, that's if my insurance agrees. I'm not scared as a matter of fact I need a little vacation. If I read the instructions correctly, they even will allow me to smoke? That can't be true, I better go back and re-read that page. I was wondering how effective is this type of testing? Is it better than doing a 3 day EEG at home? Are they looking for something that can't be picked up on a home EEG? What should I prepare for? What item (other than normal stuff) is a must take or anything else you may want to share with me about an inpatient E'EG in a EMU at the hospital.
I'm hoping for positive results, meaning that if I am having seizures that it decides to peek its little head out during my stay, but at the same time, hoping that it's not (so that I can stop taking the meds). But I worry about the fact that they can be Pseudioseizures (Psychogenic). Then I need a new help. I am worried either way, but am so ready to find out. Its been three years now since my first episode. I don't, haven't had tonic-clonic episodes. My first neuro doc described my episodes as simple partial and complex.
