I had an abnormal EEG and the doctor wants to see if that was a bad reading or if something else is going on.
Yes. Had one a few years ago now. It was actually pretty interesting because I felt fine the whole time never recorded anything so felt like the whole thing was a waste then was told during the follow up that seizure activity was picked up.
An ambulatory EEG is a common follow-up test that records brain waves for an extended period, usually 24 hours to three days. This longer monitoring period increases the chances of recording any seizure activity that might occur during your daily activities.

Yes. It led to Neurologist finding out that my seizures were coming from only one side of the brain and which side. I was told surgery wouldn't be an option if they were coming from both sides. Then an MRI was done that found my tumor that I was born with that was the root cause of my seizures. That was over 10 years ago.
Yes and it’s also referred to as an extended EEG. Fortunately I had one done last year and they were able to see that I could have surgery which is something that I have now had and I have been seizure free since then. My epilepsy was AED resistant and I have had it since I was 15 years old and I am now 59. You can always find out more possible treatments for your epilepsy, as that’s what happened with me. I hope that you are doing well and I will keep you in my prayers 🙏
