Hello all.
I'm scheduled for a 5-day VEEG in a few weeks. For the folks who have had this procedure done, I would like your opinion. Was this procedure worth it? Did you get any results, or is the cause of your seizures still unkown?
I'm not sure if anyone can relate...I had seizures in my teen years 'til I was about 21. Now, 15 years later, the seizures are back. While I was pregnant last year, I had an aura. Then four months after giving birth, I had a tonic-clonic seizure. I thought it was due to the hormonal change, but my doctor ruled that out.
I am taking vimpat, but weaning out of that to lamictal. However, I am still having seizures about once a month, so my doctor recommended I have the VEEG done. I am a little skeptical about the procedure, that's why I am asking for your opinion or recommendation.
Thanks!
Diana
