I had a pinhead epi specialist put me in the hospital for only two days, in the middle of my cycle, when I have catamenial epilepsy, and when I had finally gotten on the right AED...... PLUS, my seizure threshold is decreased by stress, and I had the two most relaxing days in a looongggg time when I was in the hospital doing nothing
Needless to say, I didn't have any seizure activity. I was actually ticked that I had to go in in the middle of my cycle, but that was when the bed was open. What a waste of time! The epi then said I wasn't experiencing seizures. Doh. My general neuro had a good laugh over that, since she had seen me at the ER experiencing status GM seizures a few months before that!
So......the VEEG is what it is, and the results can vary. Ihope yours tells you something!
