Hello.  I am 46 and have had epilepsy since I was 21.  I have had several Video monitoring and they went well.  The biggest problem is that you are confined to a hospital room.  I brought a laptop and several books.  My EMU also had a video library because they kept me up several nights.  Good Luck!
