Default New EEG report - need help

Hi all, I have posted in the paste, but I have finally gotten a copy of the report myself. So here is goes.

I spent 12 days in a hospital Epilepsy Monitoring Unit due to suspected seizures. I was released being told I had pseudoseizures because no activity was seen during my seizures. I was continuing to have seizures over the last year, mainly in my sleep, witnessed by my fiance. I went to a new neurologist and he requested my reports. I see him again in 3 months to review them, but in the meantime I got a copy faxed over to me. Only the first 3 days had abnormalities and I pasted them below. In the summary report from the EMU they state abnormalities are seen, but the seizures witnessed appeared to be non-epileptic, so I was ruled out of the Epilepsy diagnosis. Is it not possible to have both, because I had the below abnormalities. My only other tests were a normal CT head scan and a normal regular 30 minute EEG (spikes are large but just below normal limit according to report). I know nobody is a doctor, but if anybody has some knowledge, please share...thanks!! :-)

Epileptiform Abnormality #1: During late stage sleep, rare spikes with after coming slow waves are recorded bisynchronously with maximal negativity and an end-of-chain phenomenon involving Fp1/Fp2 < F3/F4, S01/S02, Fz, Cz (06:32:57) with a possible left side predominance.

Epileptiform Abnormality #2: During stage 2 sleep, low medium amplitude broadly distributed spikes are recorded with phase reversal at Sp2, T4, T10 > F10, P10 (23:20:03), likely representing small sharp spikes.

Epileptiform Abnormality #3: Intermittent low medium amplitude monomorphic 6-8 Hz Theta activity is seen overlying left temporal structures F7, SP1, F9 during wakefulness and sleep.

Summary: Over first few days of stay, abnormal EEG showing inactive Epileptiform abnormalities overlying bilateral front/polar-frontal regions.


Non-Epileptiform Abnormality #1: Mild intermittent 1-2 Hz medium amplitude semi-rhythmic delta is seen overlying F7, T3, F9 is recorded during slow wave sleep. (From what I read, all those electrodes are around middle-front temple region on left side, so nothing right side)

NON-Epileptiform Abnormality #2: Mild intermittent low-medium amplitude monomorphic 6-8 Hz theta activity overlying left temporal structures F7, SP1, F9 (once again all left side temple area) during wakefulness and sleep continue to be seen today.

Summary: Over first few days of stay, abnormal EEG showing non-epileptiform abnormalities overly left frontal temporal structures during sleep.
