Hi hurtssobad73:

A complete set of evoked potentials might take 4 hours. That's probably why you were given that info.

During one EP I could not feel the electrical impulse in my left leg. The technician changed the electrode position several times and repeated the test. I told him he could turn it up a bit, he responded with "I have everything I need, turning it up would only hurt you".

I did feel the other spots. All my EP's were normal.

So a remark like the technician made to you is generic, he/she simply got the information they needed.

My VEP took less than 10 minutes because I was already hooked up for the others. It takes a while to get the electrodes on. An hour for a VEP would be just about right.

Hope you get the results soon and it is good news.
