VA EEG questions

Thu, 06/25/2015 - 19:58
I'm currently hooked up to a video ambulatory EEG machine. The doctor didn't really explain things well; when should I push the button? She said whenever I feel "odd" or have a full on seizure. Are the sudden waves of "heat" and nausea a reason to push the button? I don't want to push this thing every time my toe twitches....unless that's what I'm supposed to do. What are your odd sensations? I've been dealing with this for so long that I don't really know what's odd...I tend to ignore, as much as I can, odd feelings. Any advice?
