THREE DAY EEG
Mon, 01/08/2007 - 23:56Topic: Women With Epilepsy
SO MY EPILEPTOLOGIST WANTS ME TO HAVE THIS THREE DAY EEG. I'M GOING TO CHECK INTO THE HOSPITAL FOR THREE DAYS AND BE HOOKED UP TO THE MACHINES NONMEDICATED, AND WILL BE WATCHED OVER MY NURSES AND MY DOC AS WELL AS CAMERAS IN THE ROOM. I KNOW FO RMY CONDITION THIS WILL BE GOOD BUT I AM SCARED SHITLESS!!!!!!!
THE THOUGHT OF HAVING A SEZIURE HAS MY STOMACH IN KNOTS AND ITS BEEN IN KNOTS EVER SINCE THE DR REQUESTED THAT I HAVE THIS DONE. MY MOTHER WAS SO EXCITED AND MY BFF AS WELL, AND ALTHO I SHOULD BE AS WELL, MAYBE WE CAN FINALLY MAKE SOME LEADWAY INTO WHATS GOING ON INSIDE OF MY HEAD, I'M SCARED. I'M DEPRESSED, SCARED AND JUST WANNA CURL UP INTO A BALL UNDER A THICK BLANKET AND WAKE UP AND FIND OUT THAT ALL OF THIS WAS ONE BIG LONG NIGHTMARE THAT LASTED 16 YEARS. I DON'T REALLY HAVE EPILEPSY..............

I have also had a EEG done about four years ago I have partial complex seizure disorder and have for 15yrs now and have had those same feelings wishing it would go away,but as you I have my mother to talk with and a great husband that watches over me.Keep those loved ones close and a great doctor you can trust in and you will be fine,I find that people live happy normal lives with epilepsy every day, I know its hard and scary and dont really understand whats going on but listen to your family,friends and doctor and properly take your medication. You will be alright.
