so back in March 2011, when I had my VEEG, my neuro afterwords said that I had "Potential seizure activity" which was his reasoning for putting me back on the Keppra XR, and stated that the seizures he saw me having on video, that were not registering on the EEG, were non epileptic seizures. But, when I was put back on the Keppra XR, the seizures stopped. Which indicated to the psych dr that if they were non epileptic seizures like this neuro said they were, treating them with a anti seizure drug like Keppra xr, wouldnt stop them from coming. And to top it off, I never had simple partial seizures, where I remained consious through out them, and they lasted only a brief time, prior to the VEEG. Where as prior, I was very well controlled for over 10 years with Keppra XR and Carbatrol ER with my seizures, and my last known Complex partial seizure was two months after the birth of our second son, in July 2005.
That being said, with having to deal with the seizure stuff this neuro has put me through, and not wanting to help me with it, I wanted to request my medical records and see exacly what was said in the records.
So I requested them and got them in the mail today.
This is what my records say for my VEEG: March 7- 12, 2011.
"Intermittent left temporal slowing which was mild, she also was noticed to have occasional bursts of generalized irregular theta activity which some embedded poorly formed spike and slow wave complexes usually occuring in in a diffuse pattern".
They also added, which is not correct...
The patient did not have any seizures during her hospital stay, but did have multifple episodes of unresponsive and hyperventilation with tearfulness and generalized body trembling and twitching lasting between 2 and 5 minutes.
Now the correct information should read... " the patient during her hospital stay had episodes of not being able to responde, with tearfulness and twitching on her left side of the her body, lasting between 1 to 2 minutes.
They go on to say...
The patient had approcimately 9 of these. These were not associated with any epiuleptiform activity on EEG. According to the patient, and her mother, who witnessed the episodes, these were not consistent with her usual seizures.
Which they were not because prior to this, I was having complex partial and grand mal, and I was unconsious through them, where as these, I was consious through out.
Then it goes on to say...
The patient was placed back on Keppra but not on Carbatrol and had a 24 hour period of not having any seizures prior to discharge in stable condition.
Well, of course the seizures are going to stop if they are epileptic... because the Keppra was given back to me the day prior, and the seizures that are epileptic, are going to stop becuase Im being given a anti seizure medication to treat epileptic seizures! :roflmao::soap:
The fact is that this neuro never told me anything about having any waves or slow areas on my EEG at all. All they indicating to me was that those little things that came up, were just "potential seizure" activity areas.
So would you think that reading the above statement that what this EEG says, would indicate epileptic activity? Because my whole life, of all the neuros Ive seen, they all have said my EEGs have came back this way and said Ive had Left Temporal Epilepsy and Ive been treated with Anti seizure drugs that worked great for me.
