I was just reading this string, I'm scheduled for a MRI with and without dye in a couple of weeks, and I've never heard of this EEG and MRI combo, should I ask about it? Also what is a VEEG? I'm having the MRIs because my seizure pattern has changed, I was only having seizures at night, then a couple of months ago I had one driving, thankfully, no one was hurt, but since then, it seems everything seems to be out of wack, so, there have been endless test and now them MRI to see what's going on with me.
