Hello, I'm alive. I was kind of tired after the test but more due to sleep deprivation and stress than the actual test. The testing itself took almost 5 and a half hours because I did not react -at all- thus stumping my doctors. Both my Epileptologist and Cardiologist were present and left confused. I offered to 'fake it' for the sake of them leaving with more than another problem.

It seems when the table is tilted, my heart rate should at least rise, whether or not I pass out is to diagnose or check for some other problem. However,my heart rate did nothing. I was given one injection of Isuprel and did not react. The funny part was, my Cardiologist didn't want to give the shot because she said, "Everyone passes out when they get the shot, it's not accurate". Well, I did nothing. Heart rate stayed as it was and I started dozing off until I heard them say, "Is she sleeping?" and woke me up. 20 minutes later she prompted for another shot (by this point, I can tell they are getting annoyed due to my lack of even a normal reaction). Again, nothing.

Now I have to go back not because of my rapid heart rate when I'm doing nothing or sleeping, but because my heart isn't reacting as it should be when I sit and stand and things like that. They are putting me on a 4 week holter monitor, hehe.

On the bright side, they did get to see my parietal lobe seizure activity when they asked if I was even dizzy, I said my leg was being shocked. So thank goodness they know I'm not crazy.

I feel bad for them, I'm just weird. My body is weird. But -I AM unique-! I don't know what's next, I seem to be sick one day and healthy the next. I learn a lot though.

Oh, the nurse blew not one but two veins and they had to put an IV in between my toes which was gross. I have a scab from the aggressive EEG paste applying lady. Aside from that, the 'heart attack' shots are overrated, or I'm just broken. I didn't notice anything. It's a boring test, but the table ride is kind of fun.
