Video EEG

[nic]

I've been told by my consultant that if my new medication (Lamictal) doesn't slow my seizures down, I'm having roughly one a day, that I will have to have a three day video EEG. Has anyone had one of these? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Nic

Hi nic --

Below are a few links from the CWE archives that may help. The first link takes you to threads that have been specifically tagged with vEEG, and includes two vEEG-related polls. I'm sure CWE members will chime in as well. Cheers!

Anyone who's had a video EEG in Beaumont in Dublin..would be lovely to hear your experience?

Nakamova has some good advice there, no harm looking them up, No I never was near Beaumont, not a place I like but bring a book.

There are suggestions on what to bring and how to prepare at the end.
