Hi Synnove,
I'm glad to hear the Dr. said you didn't have epilepsy but there are times when an e.e.g. will not pick up and sz. activity because it's to deep in the brain. I can't be sure but it seems like an aura sz. would show on an e.e.g.
If I may ask did the Dr. cut you back on any of your meds or tell you to stay awake and not go to bed the day before your e.e.g.? If the Dr. didn't do either of these things then the e.e.g. was a waste of time and money. You should always cut back on the meds a day or 2 before the e.e.g. and stay up later at night getting less sleep this in turn give a person a better chance of a sz. which will show up on the e.e.g.
I would also ask to have an MRI with the dye or a PET or SPECT scan to be done. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!
