Numbness Left Arm

Mon, 07/24/2017 - 04:09
When I had an EEG I did not have a seizure but abnormal activity on my EEG showed a seizure focus in my Left Temporal Lobe. When I have seizures though I often experience numbness in my upper arm. Does this sound like the numbness is caused by the seizure even though the numbness is on the same side? Thank you.

MRs for epilepsy differ so it

MRs for epilepsy differ so it would be good to ask. plus they should do an epilepsy MR with the 3T machine - might be better if you had MRs with a lower power machine.
