That seems crazy you have to wait so long for an EEG !! Its just a scan.onder:I can't get my EEG till the 21st April and my appointment with the Neuro till the 8th of June. In the meantime my condition is worsening and I think i'm having partial seizures, at least once or twice a day. They are only small and apart from my hands shaking and the colour draining from my face, there aren't many signs that are visible to others, I just feel absolutely awful. Do you think I should go and sit in ER or wait till my appointment with my GP on wednesday? I've been like this for days now. I should add as this is a recent reoccurance of childhood epilepsy (we think) i'm not on any medication yet. I'm 26 and have had a few tonic clonic/pseudo seizures in hospital.
Hi Alivenwell,
I'd love to think this isn't epilepsy but whatever it is, I need some help managing it. Why do doctors say "You really don't want me to diagnose you with E, it will really affect your life". Oh right so you think because you don't label it my symptoms will magically go away? What's the difference? It's still affecting my uni work, my life and my health! I still can't drive or exercise properly! I still have a huge headache and lots of episodes regardless of what we call it....sigh.
