[epilepsy] Re: EEG Result

Hey Pat,

Remember, an EEG with normal results isn't telling you that you don't have epilepsy. Its simply telling you that during the test, you didn't have areas in brains causing spikes of electrical activity in your brain which would be seen on the graphs. That's all its telling you. If extra electrical activity was shown (during the test) it would be able to tell where in the brain it was happening simply because all the different wires pasted to your brain is detecting from different areas in the brain! In my 33 1/2 years of epilepsy, was always shown as normal. The only time activity was found was when during a 4 day VEEG it appeared allot then.

Come on now Pat, don't get all stressed out about it now, that you should have done during the EEG since stress brings on seizures (smile)! Take care Pat, keep a smile on your face!
