My first EEG
Fri, 03/25/2016 - 05:43Topic: Parents & Caregivers
Well, currently I have been up all night with my wife who suffers from partial complex seiezures. She a is scheduled for her first EEG in 8 hours, but they told her to sleep from 11pm till 5 am and no caffeine, and clean hair. Well she cant sleep,because she nervous. I was calm at first, trying to be optimistic about the test, but now I am also just as nervous as her. So.....should I at least try and convince her to sleep? I am worried she will snap if I continue to nag at her to try to sleep, so any advice from anyone would be great.
