As some may know, Salford Royal's 5 day EEG test didn't go ahead despite promises it definitely would.
Well I recently got a diagnosis of epilepsy at the Walton Centre in Liverpool.
The neurologist also said if I wanted, I could have a 5 day EEG test and said to think about it, there's not a big waiting list.
Well I had wanted the 5 day EEG test at Salford Royal as I had no diagnosis at that point and hadn't for 13 years. But now I've got one.
I have simple partial seizures, they have always been the seizures I have had.
But after strange things were happening, I filmed myself one night and had a grand mal or whatever they are called on the camera. I stupidly deleted it after watching it, it scared me, and I just wanted to deny it. It happened at night.
I don't know if it was just a one off or not. But some nights, I wake up from what has seemed like a full nights sleep not feeling like I've had a full night's sleep if that makes sense, really tired as if I've had no sleep.
I know my Topamax needs increasing as I am on the headache dose due to no diagnosis till recently, got an appointment on Friday with my GP.
If I take the 5 day video EEG test, if it comes back normal, will that affect my diagnosis and I'll be back to square one? I'm in two minds whether or not to take it.
