No Idea. They *as only the technicians* couldnt say whether or not. But my guess would be yes. only because if they didnt catch anything, then they would assume it was because of their mistakes.
I did have a pretty big myoclonic episode. probably more shaking out of frustration than anything. but I got so mad! The new technician guy was late. I had to be there earlier to check in before the test, then sat in the waiting room waiting to be called at 4:30. I didnt get called until 5:30 *presumably because they were running behind due to sad new technician.* So I got in there, and they introduced the new guy, and he did the whole usual explainations sorta like a script he was taught to warm up and practice I guess.
he started measuring my head. and I asked if I could video tape it. but the new guy wasnt comfortable. so i'll ask agian next time. so after he finished measuring *which tooka bout 15 mins* he got the lady *the one who did the test for me last time* to check his work. She checked the first measurment and told him because this measurement was wrong, he had to do it again.
After that was done, he started stickign the elctrodes to me. he had to scrape or score the area a bit *not enough for it to bleed* to make sure that the glue would firmly hold while I slept *turns out he didnt even use the stronger glue, so they fell off a few times* this hurt a bit from him pressing hard and gave me a headache. Had alot of simple partials making it very difficult to not snap at their questions or the situation.
I had to do te hyperventilation thing, but my nose is plugged so I had to do it with just my mouth, and it didnt have the same effect as last time so im sure i did it wrong this time. no tingles, no dizziness, no nausea. The resting part was where the myoclonics happened cuz I just was so frustrated. I was clenching my fists in anger and dug my nails in so hard it blistered a bit. not a great sign that I'm having a good time.
Then they told me to sleep. They didnt alllow any music, didnt have a blanket, had a S!**$ pillow and no chad. I was not a happy camper. so they gave me about an hour to "try" but that didnt work, and by then I was super hungry, and had to pee really bad. so they unhooked me, and told me to walk around for an hour and go pee. this is about 7pm now. so we came back at 8, and they were finishing up with someone else. By the time they were done, it was 8:30.
I went back in and they rehooked me up and let me try to sleep again. same thing, but this time as i fell asleep, I instinctivly rolled to face away from them *as usual for me, even if chad is in bed. I dont like breahting on my face and I like to be spooned* but when I did this, the wires pulled tight on that side and pulled off. 3 bloddy times! so now it was like 10:00 before they realized that this wastn going to work well. *I really wished they would have bene okay with me going home to reschedual, but at the same time I was frustrated on having to do this agian*
So they let chad in and I slept for the 2 hours and then did the flashing lights and went home to shower. lather, rinsed and reapeated 5 times, and then slept. woke up at 7am to come to woek.
I have the sniffles, simple aprtials, a headache, tired and grumpy. the guys at work better not mess with me today if they want to continue to be "the Men" at work.
