Help interpreting EEG report please

Fri, 12/23/2016 - 05:06
Hi. I've just been copied in on a letter from my Neurologist to my GP about the results of my recent EEG test. Does anyone know what this might mean? "The EEG in wakefulness shows irregular slow waves with sharpened features at times over left mid and posterior temporal region (and to a lesser extent the right temporal) of unclear significance." My background is that for three years I've been experiencing seizures (amongst other symptoms like severe fatigue, light and sound sensitivity, difficulty processing language and Orthostatic Intolerance) since a viral infection in 2014. Anyone know what the docs report is suggesting?
