Flopper,

When I went in for a VEEG, I had to make sure that I brought clothes that buttoned down the front. That was so my EEG wires weren't messed up. Also, bring plenty of things to keep you occupied. Like puzzle books, reading material, stay in bed or chair things.

I was taken off my meds so that I would have a seizure. The meds were taken off gradually in 2 days time. I had the seizure on the 3rd or 4th day. It was actually 4 seizures in 4.5 mins time. Besides recording the seizures on the EEG, you are also being recorded on a video camera. The only time that they can't record you is when you are in the bathroom. This is so the doctor can see what happens when you have your seizures. This gives them a better idea of what goes on during that time.
