Can someone please explain to me after having seizures for 30 years my most recent eeg came back with no abnormalities. Strange.

I've had several eeg's throughout my 25 years of being epileptic. Only 6 or 7 of those eeg's have ever shown anything. The first one was just a little spike. The other ones have shown activity, but I wasn't actually having a seizure. The last one I had was a 48 hour eeg at my house after two weeks of being on a new medication. It did show three spikes, but nothing else.

It is fairly common for nothing to show up
