Can anyone help? Even if it just answering just one of the questions . I have just opened a letter from my neurologist post my first MRI, I had first seizure for 15 years and it is being suggested I go on lamotrigine. I am still waiting for EEG results but I do not really understand the...

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...

MRI results finally Finally! Was at an apt. with my GP and fished for info (I see the neurologist on Monday, but I've been waiting two months and couldn't last any longer!). He said they found that they found my pituitary gland is enlarged, and I'm pretty certain he said adenoma but wouldn't...

This image alone shows the images of what my brain looked like on the MRI when they discovered the blood. Entire right side was filled so much, it pressed on my brain. Probably started bleeding at the time of seizure and wasn't discovered till 2 months later. YAY, got it right this time, was...

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...

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. i am new here and have some questions. background: my husband, 33, had a critical head injury at age 19 and a one-wk coma. since then he has memory and concentration problems, slowed comprehension in only certain subjects and at certain times, and a combo of other difficult to describe...

I think I had a partial seizure during my MRI last week - my eyes were blinking more rapidly than I could ever do by myself, headache in right temple, a numb feeling spread kind of down my face and a small tremor in my right arm. It probably only lasted less than a minute, but does anyone know...
