Wada test
Wed, 03/15/2006 - 15:05Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Hi everyone,
I Went to See Neurologist today. He put my mind at rest. I don't feel quite as nervous as I first did. I have decided to go through with the WADA test next Monday 20th March. So please god all will go well. I would spend the rest of my life wondering if i don't go through with it.
Please god all will go well.:-)

Hi Ivy
Thanks for your emails.
It looks like we are both having the Wada Test done on the same day. I am next Tuesday morning, but going into hospital on the Monday for some other tests. My memory is lousy too especially on the keppra med. The Wada Test takes about one hour for them to complete and you will have to stay overnite in hospital for observation. Hopefully, should everything go fine you will be discharged on the Wednesday morning like me. After your Wada Test and returned to your bed I have read up on notes from hospital that we must keep still for eight hours. I ask myself, what about if we need the toilet? LOL
I hope everything goes well for you. Don't worry to much. I know it is easier said than done as I am a bit worried myself. Let me know how you get on with it. I have been reassured on this site that there is nothing too worry about. So there you go!!
Good Luck and I will be thinking of you.
Best Wishes
Teri

Hi Teri,
Thank you for responding to my post. I apreciate it. Its nice to know that I am not alone in this. I wasn't even able to tell my Father about this. I don't really have many friends who understand my epilepsy. I am kinda freaked out about the entire test to be honest. My Neurologist actually went into detail as to where the surgeons would be operating if I was suitable for surgery.3 days and counting. Will let you know how I get one. Happy St Patricks Day. Take care.
Raid.
