Default Ma General visit

Had my app. yeterday with Dr. Costello. He talked with me and husband 2 hrs. No knew answers. Looked at all my tests up to date, all look ok. Asked if EEG was done during an episode, no. Wants another MRI in 6 weeks to see if change. Wants me to get to E.R. when have another episode ASAP to try an capture on EEG. If not will take me off dilantin, hook up to long term EEG and hope for seizure. Wants a definate diagnosis. Are these epilepsy, or something else? Said it is catch 22. Is dilantin stopping seizures, or is it not even seizures?
Said I had definate right sided weekness, obvious right handed tremor. My husband informed Dr. that he has noticed an obvious loss of memory over last yr. This is very frustrating. I was hoping for an answer to all going on, but I guess not that easy. Oh well
