Help, can I stil have seizures with normal EEG

Mon, 07/20/2009 - 09:29

So before I had my 72 hr EEG, my doctor said it could come back normal and I could still have complex partial seizures, so of course I was hopeful it would come back abnormal but it didnt.  I'm supposed to see Dr later this week but am worried he will change his mind about me having seizures.  Can I  still have normal eeg and have seizures?  If he changes him mind, what should I do.

Thanks

See I'm having the same problem. All my eegs including the 72hr one came back normal and now she wants to take me off the med and say it's just horrible migraines. But I'm having deja vu  episodes too. And all the syptoms of complex partial.

Glad to know that I am not

Glad to know that I am not alone.  Dr can't find the seizure on his tests so therefore they don't exist. Something sure as heck was existing in my body 6 times today.  So frustrating.  Help!
