Migraines that act like seizures?
Tue, 01/16/2007 - 16:34I had my first appointment with my new neurologist today. He has decided that I do NOT have a seizure disorder, but that I am far more likely to be suffering from migraines.
I don't know what to say or do. He is an epileptologist and I was evaluated at the epilepsy centre.
He said that if I am suffering from seizures, my symptoms would be the same for every episode. I don't know if I am convinced, but hey, he is the specialist.
I think I want to give it all up and let the chips fall where they may.
I don't think I care anymore.
I'm too fed up to care.

How long was your EEG? Was it

How long was your EEG? Was it for 72 hrs? If not, you may still have seizures. Only 20-40% of seizure patients have a seizure during a 20-40 minute routine EEG. To completely and accurately diagnose seizures in most adults, a 72 hr prolonged EEG is needed.
