Sounds like me I had a 7 day one I was crying at one point & I was so tired & messed up from the drug withdrawal. Shitting in the bag, the constant watching you,
Electrode itch.
They set of the fire alarm, bought me beer as well, in the end I was euphoric when I left, I had a great team.
The guy in the other room had seizures triggered by autotuned rap vocals. They blasted him with Kanye west & t-pain boom it worked, they located the autotuned rap vocal part of his brain, he was out in one night.
He said it took 7 years to figure out it was the autotuned rap music making him fit. Really interesting case.
Hope they got the recording & you’re feeling better with some well earned sleep!
ok this was a long time ago... so it is kinda fuzzy. but yes... i got went without a seizure a couple of times. but it was a 1-3 hour eeg. anything past 3+ hours i will have a seizure. what is really funny though, when i have a seizure weiting for the eeg... then nothing on the eeg... then when the eeg is done and i was unhooking the wies.... seizures.
When it was an outpatient EEG, I never had a seizure. I had one VEEG and I had four seizures - three in the last 12 hours.
I have never had anything show up on any of my EEGs.
I had a 3-day EEG at Mat-Su Regional Hospital for 3 days all I did was sleep after they took me off my medicine because I still have medicated and tired I stayed up a little bit my head dropped might eat ug machine stopped working in the middle of the night for a couple hours it was really old equipment they didn't catch any seizures, I was at Swedish neuroscience Cherry Hill Campus I was in there for 5 days and I got a bunch of seizures on the monitoring equipment and they diagnosed me with cluster seizures and left hippocampus sclerosis atrophy HS of the left hippocampus. It just depends on what kind of equipment it is and how you are that week but I frequently have eegs not quite frequently but every so couple years and they won't get any seizures to the point where they want to call it functional seizures or psychogenic non epileptic seizures, but there's a rift between the neurologist that I'm seeing that said epilepsy and then I switched my insurance back to my other Clinic that I'm going to and the neurologist there wants to say pnes.
