EEG, and after.
Thu, 10/28/2010 - 11:30Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Youth
Okay, so today I got my EEG. I had no seizures when they were making the flashing lights, and no seizures during the hyperventilation. This is supposed to make people provoked to have a seizure, especially what I got diagnosed with in 7th grade... Absence Seizures. I had a couple of seizures going home though. It makes me start to think that this is Complex Partial Seizures, especially after my freind Bruce suggested it. This makes no sense at ALL. Haha. I have an appointment in November on the 29th. I guess we'll find out in a month. Just thought I would share this.

LOL - I was trying to guess if you were a girl or guy. No, I wasn't in critical care because they had no beds . . . I was in a medical daycare area (where they admit people for the day who are having various medical procedures done. They just had no beds in the hospital available for about 8 of us who technically needed to be admitted, but couldn't get a bed. However, the nursing desk was in the the middle of the room and the 8 beds were in a circle around her. Almost as good as a CC unit, I would think.
Thanks for the good luck with the new med. I wish you all the best as well!

Haha! Wow, status epilepticus is bad. Were you put into Critical Care? Well, I wish you the best of luck on this new Medication when that day comes, and evey day to follow. Sorry, I can't say I relate to that, since I'm not a Girl.
