Find out results of 5 day EEG in a few days

Mon, 09/07/2015 - 01:51

Hi everyone,

My name is Kelly and I've been having symptoms that do not sound like epilepsy but after seeing a neurologist in March I've had three different EEG's.

The first one came back abnormal on the right frontal lope and the second came back abnormal on the left frontal lope. It was then recommended I undertake a 5 day EEG. I did that last week and will find out the results in a few days.

I was wondering if anyone has any of the symptoms that I've had over the past 12 months:

1. Unvolenteering day dreaming that I get for under a minute - I cannot get out of it when it happens. It feels like when you're tired and trying to stay awake but more in a daydream.

2. During daydream my eyes can feel like they are trying to focus but my vision is not effected. I can just feel my eyes strain.

3. I can get a fuzzy feeling or a feeling like my brain is shaking - sometimes happens during the daydream but sometimes on it's own.

4. The most recent symptoms I have been getting is what feels like a vibration under my skin but it doesn't feel like my muscles are spasiming. The vibration feels like a mobile phone just under my skin. When I first got these it would happen to the back of my head and upper back but last week I had it happen to my lower back and backs of my legs. My whole body hasn't vibrated, only parts.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Welcome Your first 2 EEG's

Welcome Your first 2 EEG's show abnormalities. One on the right side the other on the left. Abnormalities are spikes or waves and they know where they are coming from. Abnormalities are irregular electrical impulses coming from the brain.Each person seizure is different and the symptoms will be different. Some of the things you had a symptoms I had many years ago. I also had weird feeling in my right hand. I felt a twitch now and then. Relax and please wait for them to call you on what they found in the 5 day video EEG. If they come up with more info great. They might be discussing medications, dosages or other procedures that can keep you from having seizures again.I  hope this helpsJoe
