Is there any way you can videotape your nocturnal seizures? A detailed description of your symptoms (and perhaps a video) can help the doc to make the diagnosis in the absence of a positive EEG.
Many people with epilepsy will have EEGs that are normal, so in those instances neurologists make the diagnosis based on the symptoms alone. If the neuro isn't sure, he might recommend trying a small dose of anti-seizure medication to see if it helps.
