Porkette,
Thank you for the info. I am hoping that they find something. I didn't even think hormones, but I have been having periods of hot flashes and waking up with my pj's wet. I will mention this to Dr. Actually I will right this down to mention to him, because I forget what I want to tell them about when I have my app.

Hi Garney,
I know everyone is different but my epi told me that the sz. could increase or decrease for me when I started to go through menopause. I found that my sz. increased greatly do to hormones changing so much and I ask myself if that's the reason why I had a TC sz. this past Jan. I've always had absence and cp sz. until I started going through menopause.
In regards to your veeg your Dr. may cut your AED's back while your having the test done to help cause a sz. My Dr. had me drinking diet soda and eating potato chips and slices of pepperoni because these were the foods and beverages that caused me to have sz. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

When I was having my VEEG they reduced my meds very much, very quickly.

Because my sz always came in "timed" clusters and I had no triggers I told them that would have no seizures. My epi-neuro said that every one told her they would have no seizures.

When the tech was attaching the thingys to my head I told him about having timed clusters and no triggers and knowing I would have no sz. He said, "Everyone says they will have no seizures."
I had 2 seizures within 4 days - - just what they wanted.

Jingle,

i am with you on that one. I too am afaid that I will not have any activity while in hosp. I am hoping for at least one seizure. will let everyone know outcome. Am still waiting to hear if def. going in this am. If not, then tomorrow.

Garney

(((Cathy))) I understand how it feels to sit there and WAIT - how awful.
I sure hope you get into that hospital - 100% insured - that waiting can end and you (oh, how awful to say) have seizures.
God bless you.

jingle,

Well here I still sit at home at 2:30. I am told that the dr. did not sent report until 11:45 today!!! I called admit, and they said They could noy do anything without ok from ins. The bed that was reserved for me is now occupied, but they think the person is leaving later today. Unfortunatley I would have to be there by 4:00pm in order to get hooked up. Even if ins. ok's this afternoon, we live 2 hrs. away.
Dr. Thadanis nurse asked if I was getting anxious or upset by all this, and I said of couse I am. She told me that I can't be doing that because not a good thing. (could bring on seizure) Well at this point I will hope for tomorrow, and that a bed will be available.
Keep you posted.

I just HATED seeing that you had posted. Isn't that awful ??

Of course, I'm sitting here waiting for my hospital to call me and arrange the same wretched thing.
