You might want to inquire about the following with your neurologist.
Light sensitivity, I have it and it is awful. It can be made better
with glasses that have a special tint called FL-41. It is new, and not
widely abialable, but it made all the difference for me.
Stabbing pain in the face, if on one side, could be nerve damage. If is
is sudden, stabbing, specifically on one side of the face ask about
possible cranial nerve damage.
So you are aware a normal in office EEG is never used to rule out
seizures, only to verify them. It is possible to have a normal EEG come
back negative even in someone who has seizures, it is complicated. An
inpatient EEG should be able to verify seizures, and even narrow the
focus to some extent. These can last 3-5 days in the hospital, and they
will typically do things to cause seizures, like make you sleep deprived.
You will likely have more questions then answers at the beginning, and
we are all willing to answer based on our experiences.
