eeg

Hi, my 3 year old son has been having mostly very mild short lived seizures for 2 weeks. Either getting more frequent, or possibly we are more alert to them. Locum GP referred on the basis of my description, but first appointment is 4.5 weeks time. The Health Visitor (who has personal...

I am so worried. I got an EEG done a few weeks ago and the results came back abnormal with generalized spike/wave discharges. But here's the catch... I've never had a seizure before and have no history of seizures. My neurologist said that she won't diagnose me with Epilepsy until I start having...

Hello.. I am writing to you all today because I am very nervous about something. It may seem funny, or stupid, or crazy, I don't know. But I feel like I can't ever find an answer that will ease my mind. I am a a healthy Canadian 19 year-old female, in a competitive University program, with a...

Seems normal eegs happen so much,that I was curious-how do you feel during the eeg? Do you feel bad during any part of it?Do you fall asleep?I guess what Im asking is simple-if it comes back normal did you feel normal?And if it comes back abnormal did you feel funny at any point?Did any of you...

My neurologist suspects that I may be having simple partial seizures. I went for my first EEG today and it came back normal. She said she isn't ruling out seizures but she wants to wait and see before putting me on meds. I'm 10 wks pregnant so she doesn't want to do an MRI. I am happy it came...

Hi there everyone I'm wondering if I can get some input from those out there that have gone through the invasive EEG, and/or completed a Temporal Lobe Recection? I've gone through all other testing, I'm set to go in to the Hospital Dec. 10th and I'm just now starting to get a bit...

My first visit with Epi,his paper said EEG showed "abnormal III-awake,sleep,anterior temporal sharp wave consistent with dx of focal epilepsy arising from the left temporal region" My question-I have no idea if this was due to the hyperventilation or flashing lights or just because it was sleep...

How many of us have heard: "Your EEG is normal. You're fine.." ("It's all in your head?") I know of people who have had 5 EEGs, only to be finally diagnosed when they finally had video EEG monitoring. So if someone is trying to pass you off or is ignoring your symptoms, perhaps you should...

Hello, all. I'm a newbie to all this and need some help. I have a diagnosis of probable temporal lobe epilepsy. Two sleep deprived EEGs have come out negative. My doctor has me scheduled for a week-long inpatient (Hospital) videotaped EEG, where they will take me completely off my meds and...

I found out yesterday that my 2 year old has epileptic episodes. The professor neuro-consultant saw him because he knows about the case history of my family with my daughter who has a neuro-problem of a different nature and he has asked me to start recording a detailed dairy of his absence...

I am the daughter of a mother who was recently diagnosed with epilepsy (complex-partial onset) in October 2008 after 2 known seizures and an EEG done my neurologist where they could see the seizures. My mother has been superwoman her whole life and devoted the past 23 years to being and...

Hi, I would like to thank everyone for their responses. I feel really welcomed here. I went to my neurologist today since I had what I thought was some kinda of absent seizure. It turns out the Doctor said I had a Complex/partial seizure while I was getting my long term EEG done. I thought it...
