Hi Everyone,
I am new here. I recently learned that the episodes I have been experiencing for the past few years, are actually partial/complex seizures. I'm ashamed to say, that prior to learning this, I had no idea of the complexity of epilepsy or even considered these episodes to be seizures.
I recently received the results of my EEG and was hoping some of you here could assist me. I told the neuro that following the HV of the EEG I felt like garbage and noticed my right hand twitched, went home and needed to sleep. Felt out of it after. After I explained this, he reviewed the results of the test and that following the hyperventilating portion of the test, there were abnormal discharges, a slowing of activity throughout my brain. I'm confused as to what this means and how come it is all over when I have been experiencing partials. I'm still new to all of this, so........I have been told that an MRI to look for lesions and a sleep deprived EEG have been arranged but to anticipate a diagnosis of epilepsy and begin making myself familiar with it.
For anyone who takes the time to read this, thank you. It is all quite overwhelming. After learning about seizures, however, I have finally been able to articulate what has been happening to me, because prior it was just too difficult to explain.
