4 hour EEG coming up...what to expect?
Mon, 03/10/2008 - 10:43I'm having a 4-hour non video, sleep deprived EEG in a couple of weeks, this after an EEG, MRI and CT scan showed nothing (though I know that nothing is quite common and not that horrible...at least it didn't show a tumor!). My question: what might this EEG show that the first one did not? Is it reasonable to think they can find something towards a cause of the tc I had last month, or would that be getting my hopes up? In other words, while it certainly won't hurt to have this test done, will it likely just be a waste of time?
