Re: [epilepsy] Getting closer to Surgery MAYBE~~just had a WADA test!

 

I had my testing done the end of 2007 before my RTL in march of 2008.
After the WADA you do feel weird for a few days because the amobarbitol
has to work out of your system. Also, the healing process for your
artery in your leg takes some time, which is like any healing process.
As a note to that, the point of entry in your leg can be tender for
several weeks, so don't be surprised if it seems fine, and then you
notice tenderness again on and off for a few weeks.

My best suggestion for you, now that it has been 3 days, get back to
whatever your current normal routine is. You will appreciate having
done this once you do have surgery, because you will be unable to do
your normal routine for several weeks. So for now, try very hard to
keep up with what you can, and don't allow the thought of surgery to
make you behave any differently now.

I am going into my 3rd day depressed and sleeping a lot. I haven't felt this down in sooo long. I was wondering did anyone else feel this tired and cry a lot after the wada test?? my other tests were 5 hours of questions in a room all day and 2.25 hours in a tube mri or eeg...
