I wasn't really sure where to put this, but I figured here would be a start, sorry if it's in the wrong section.
I'm just curious what the benefit to a longer EEG is? My wife did the normal EEG test, which as you all know is pretty short and just a snapshot of that particular time frame. As such, the test came back normal. So did her MRI and all the blood work.
Can some one explain to me what the benefit of a longer EEG is? I mean even if it shows abnormal, what does that mean? Can you formulate a better treatment plan or long term prognosis with it? Unsure... :dontknow:
I ask this because she's had full control for 4 months now on Depakote and seems to be doing much better now. Would the long term EEG be beneficial to her still? Since we don't have a whole lot of money and my insurance isn't all that great, I'm not certain what we should do, or if it's worth it to do a longer EEG.
