I suppose this isn't a new topic, but I am wondering what an "invasive EEG" is. I just (well, at the beginning of the month) spent a week in the hospital connected to a "mobile EEG". I had all the normal stuff connected, but had like a 100ft cord, and was free to roam about in quite a large space. They took away all my meds pretty quickly, and I was on constant visual recorded monitoring as well. Actually I don't really remember much of the week. I went into the hosp. (Abbott, down in Minneaplois) went in on Tues. morn, and I remember some of that day, but don't have any recall of anything else until sometime Sat. and even that is pretty fuzzy. Actually the first day I really remember is Mon. of the following week. Weird, and very scarey. Friends and family said I either called them or they called me, and we talked, and I seemed to be ok to them, but I have absolutely no recall of any of that. Never had that happen before. I had 7 seizures in that time, 1 TC, and the rest were complex partial. Is this normal? And, is this what you mean by "invasive" or is that something else? I am looking into a lobectomy, but haven't as yet heard anything from them.
Thank you anyone for some input.
