On Monday someone will be coming to the house to get me all wired up and video cameras placed. This will be oh-so-fun. :p

In a weird way, I'm curious what brain waves look like during orgasm, or while smoking, etc...should I try it and see?

If course I wouldn't be doing those things on camera but would be writing them in my log.

I'm very curious to see how those things effect me but I'm unsure if I should.

What do you think?
 
IMHO I don't think the DRs can't handle the birds & the bees! :)

Just promise to do one thing for me while you're wired up.

Look at one of the cameras and say "Smile You're On Candid Camera"! :)

I wouldn't like be filmed at home.
 
There are a lot of things I would be curious about showing up some how. Orgasm is one of them. I don't smoke, but when I did that would have also been on my list. Too bad I don't have a treadmill or I'd be able to add that.
 
I didn't think of doing that when I had mine, but I was in the hospital :) May have been a little tougher to do. I am sure that they have seen it all, so go for it!
 
I had one back in November over Thanksgiving. Just remember you have to write everything on the log when your off camera! But if you want to have a lot of fun go to Walmart after your wired up:roflmao:
 
Well, its up to you... lol. But I just hope you get the answers you need for the test! :)
 
Hell yeah,go for it,even try your fav music pumping out off the stereo full blast,really Cathy the list is endless in what you could try.
 
I'm in favor of whatever you can do to make the process more pleasant...

Good luck, hope the 72 hours go by swiftly and productively :)
 
oh that'd be fun!
I just had a sleep-deprived 1 hour EEG the other day (my new profile avatar) and dang that waxy paste stuff they stick them to your head with - that stuff left skin damage that's now scabbing over
it will heal fine - but word of warning I guess.. you may have had it before

how about trying several different orgasms each time using different stimuli? (husband, different types of porn, no visual stimuli, just fantasy, etc...)

your docs must be pretty cool to have you even consider that aspect :)
I'd be game.

what if orgasms were found to raise the seizure threshold? :D

No one would have time for CWE. And some of us would have repetitive stress disorders...

Peter, how did your EEG go? Any interesting results?

lol

I have not spoken with the Neuro yet - an appointment is in the works, in the system - I'm on a waiting list to see him

I hope that something comes up, although I'm pretty sure I didn't have a seizure during the testing... but I'll have to wait and see what comes up
 
Tuesday.....and?

we all a wondering hows its going and thinking of u.....well, maybe not tooooo much thinking,,,,giggle...

hope it goes well..
 
Lmao maybe I should try Walmart.

I've had this thing on since 2:30 pm yesterday. Unfotunately I haven't felt any episodes. I have tried a few of the things I was curious about, lol. Not mentioning which ones. :p

I want to go take a bubblebath so damn bad! Thursday morning can't get here soon enough.

Thanks for thinking about me guys. :)
 
Hang in there. Here's hoping you get some good results soon!
 
well watching "The Grey" starring Liam Neeson in the theaters may have induced a seizure for me - I missed the end of it but it looks like a pretty good flick to boot.
it's a dark/white, camera jerking, flashing light/dark type of cinematography - but I can't be sure what

here's to hoping you have a seizure - for the sake of a good EEG readout
here's to hoping that you don't - because they suck

lol@ walmart - that would be fun...

When your standing in the check out lane and the kid in front of you is staring at you look at him and say "What did I forget my pants again?":roflmao: I'm hopeing some bad waves will show up soon!
