9 Types of Seizures and Their Symptoms (VIDEO) Read Article...
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member

I have had at least 5 eeg’s throughout my lifetime. One lasted 24 hours, another one lasted for a week. None of them showed anything. EEG’s have existed since at least the beginning of the 70’s. They are not reliable, seizures happen inside a person’s brain 🧠, they don’t come out of Your head. I had seizures during these tests and nothing really appeared on the test results. The only test that worked for me was the Depth Electrodes Test. That test was long but it found out where my seizures were coming from inside my brain. Then there is the VNS vagus nerve stimulator. I have one of those now also, the one I have is the newest model. School-college & Grad School was difficult but possible. Learn more about the depth electrodes test if You have not already.
