Hi Cat ~ I had my last VEEG just last month and things went just fine. I think it will go fine for you too.
I've never heard the going w/o food and medication for 72 hours business but that doesn't mean anything. When I have my VEEG, the epi reduces my medication as quickly as he/she thinks is safe.
They learned that the color stuff that so affects Sue doesn't bother me a bit, but hard work on a stationary bike throws me into cp seizures - lol. Coffee and diet drink don't bother me but that stationary bike .........
ANYWAY - the VEEG is long and boring but you'll be OK. It teaches the epi and other doctors so very, very much that it's almost a miracle. It's a GOOD thing.
p.s. -- I had some major surgery a week ago and I'm fuzzy. If I make no sense, I apologize.
