Advice needed for triggering temporal lobe seizures

Thu, 02/12/2009 - 04:46
Hi everyone! As I speak I am sitting in a hospital bed having a 5 day eeg. I haven't had a siezure yet and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to make one happen. I have been sleep deprived for 3 nights and still nothing. I can't leave here not knowing. Please help!

its true its very common that the sz dont occur but flashing lights can trigger a sz big time I saw private ryan and that nite I had a full blown sz so when the docs asked if I knew one of my triggers well all I gotta say is when the movie was put in within sec I had a full blown sz.

I hopeour input is helping you
