Is EEG The Wires On My Head Or On My Chest?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I have a hard time remembering and it might not be EEG. It is a 5 day 4 night test in the hospital to help with my seizures.

That’s a long EEG, which they do to see if there are patterns for when they happen to you.

Epilepsy Centers
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Has anyone ever been to or had experience with an epilepsy center/hospital that specializes in that? I have an appointment with one, and I am pretty nervous about it. I am looking forward to getting some answers, but I am also nervous for what may lie ahead of me. My neurologist has recently told me that she fears my seizures are becoming "medicine resistant", and I don't have to be a doctor to know that they have been much more frequent in the past two years than they have been most of my life… read more

VEEG And No Seizures?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Has anyone ever done an in-hospital VEEG(mine is going to be 5 days) and NOT had a seizure?

I’m absolutely terrified of this happening. I usually have 3-4 seizures a month. The NP told me if I don’t have a seizure during the VEEG they’re going to say I have PNES(my epileptologist didn’t say this, the NP did). I’m not sure how they can just jump to that if I don’t have a seizure. I don’t understand this!

Talking On The Phone While Doing A At Hone Eeg?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I know this is a random question but I have to do a at home eeg next week and at the same time the Aus epilepsy project wants to interview me via phone to participate. Anyway I'm pretty sure I can't be on the phone while doing the eeg but..... just to confirm? lol

EDIT
Just a update with this I went and got hooked up the other day as everyone probably knows by now. I wore my Fitbit to the hook up and was expecting to be told I would have to take it off but as it turns out nope. Not with a… read more

I think home EEGs so not really allow a "normal life" which is what I think they want. I was on the cellphone using my speaker, watching TV or using this laptop. They saw one when I was awake, some… read more
