At my latest appointment with my current neurologist, I had asked him if an MRI would be something to look into as I have only had one when I was diagnosed, and just to make sure all of the bases were covered.
He said that it is pointless to do one, since I have generalized epilepsy and that the four EEG's he has done in two years were sufficient enough evidence. I'm scratching my head because my auras are ever strengthening, and my seizures aren't responding TOO well with the current regimen of medicines I'm on.
I'm getting a second opinion in a couple weeks, so I'm curious. Should I ask the epileptologist that I'm going to see the same question? And for those who have had MRI's, does that show things that can't be picked up on a regular EEG?
