Hello! Before I go any further, I just want to say that I'm very glad I found this forum, and I apologize in advance for the long post. Here's my history: I was diagnosed with epilepsy back in 2001 when I was 15. At first, doctors said I had idiopathic (genetic) epilepsy, as my sister had...

I have had these experiences for ten years or so now. I am in my early twenties now. I told doctors about them over the years and basically nothing ever came of it. I figured it was no big deal. Then I went to a sleep specialist, who happens to also be an epilepsy specialist because I am always...

hello again, ABout a week ago the neuro, took me off all meds and i was against this since my seizures were getting better again, I've been going through periods of doing ok and then having a few in a row at night and just a few SPS, during the day. Well now that im off the meds ive been having...

Hey all ltns :) I made sure to get the new neuros notes from my last 2 visits and everything i read shocked and appalled me. He thinks im faking or malingering (for some other gain) or its somatization, he sent me to a neuropysch doc who deal with PNES cases and im still waiting on getting his...

Hi there, I think I have been having Partial Seizures for about 10 years. I'm having an EEG tomorrow, and then I have an appointment with a neurologist. I only just went to the doctor about this a few months ago as a result of pushing by my worried partner. I have these roughly once per month...

I was looking at an old EEG report and it says this (Quote) The technologist noted the patient to be drowsy. The resting record consists of mainly drowsy and sleep states in the form of mixed frequency background compromising of beta and delta waves. Stage 1 and 2 of sleep were noted with its...

I literally JUST got the call from my Neurologists office. His nurse called me. I called the office and asked that the nurse let me know and she just called. She said that the results showed the EEG was normal, showed no abnormal findings BUT also said "A Sleep Deprived EEG may produce more or...

Well, home from the EEG. Not much to tell, I won't know the results for 1 to 2 days. Last time, they did a series of flashing lights with my eyes closed and I blew on a pinwheel for 3 minutes to bring on hyperventilation. They didn't do the pinwheel thing this time because of the fact I had a...

Got the call this morning. My EEG is scheduled EXACTLY 2 weeks from today, November 6th. WOW, that's fast. Didn't expect to be scheduled till maybe the middle of November or toward the end but it's two weeks from today. Can't decide if I'm nervous yet. lol Glad at the same time, hoping to have...

I had a message on my phone when I got home today and my Neurologist's office called and he's put in the order for the EEG & I have a tentative date, looks like it'll be the last week in October or first week in November. He put in the order and now just waiting for approval from my insurance...

I called my Neurologists office to find out if he'd ordered the EEG & or to find out how far in advance they book them and he hadn't ordered it yet but it's still early. I saw him June 5th & he said he wanted an EEG in 5 months, which would put that in November. How far in advance does the...

I thought this information was really cool. So I made a video, I would like to know if anyone every had one of these special EEG's and what are my chances of getting one? When do/does a DR. turn to one of theses EEG's? Are the EEG's mostly used for people who are having a hard time getting a...

Okay, let's say your first two EEGs have been normal so you have no diagnosis yet, what did your Neurologist do next? When I had my first EEG, it was only two weeks or so after the Grand Mal seizure and my Neurologist told me that it's possible that it was too soon after the seizure and may be...

For those who have had the EEG tests, what was yours like, what did they have you do, anything that seemed unusual or unique? Of course the basics would be showing flashing lights near your eyes and the hyperventilation test. What did they do for the hyperventilation test or lights? With me...

Hey gang! So I am seeing a MS neuro, as many of you know i cannot due a 5 day or more veeg and i told the epi doc that it is out of the question as i dont have daycare. So after losing my neuro that i was seeing i had to find a new that wll hopefully try and help me figure out what is truly...

My friends from New Zealand, is visiting and yesterday he had a bunch of cluster seizures. So later that night they went to the hospital. The first thing a nurse said is that he looked pretty good for having cluster seizure through out the day. So I guess the doc or and no one believe him. The...

Hello! I'm going to be getting an EEG and an MRI soon and I have no idea what to expect. I hear in the EEG they will try to induce seizures in suspected epileptics like me, and I can't say I'm overly excited about that part. I've read a lot online about the "things to do" beforehand and stuff...

I have a sleep deprived eeg on July 17. I have a busy day that day too so I know the exhaustion is going to be intense and exhaustion is a big trigger for me. My questions. Are you allowed caffeine to help get you through? (I'm going to ring the neurology department to clarify their...

Okay, just a question for you people who are more experienced with dealing with EEGs and whatnot. I just now saw the description from my EEG results that were done after my last tonic-clonic. I guess I was right when I thought the neurologist said frontal lobe abnormalities. This is from the...

In March 2012, I had an unusual episode. I was at work sitting in a large overstuffed green chair with my laptop in my lap, and I suddenly woke up. I'm a teacher and had a planning period, so no one saw me or what what happened to me. I was completely disoriented, since I had felt that I would...
