No, It is difficult to time an EEG with the occurrence of a seizure. They flash lights and other triggers to try to cause a seizure. If seizures are frequent, sometimes the neuro will order a 24 hour EEG to increase the likelihood of recording a seizure.

I have never had a seizure during an EEG. I got a report of 'inconclusive' because there were abnormalities that were not identifiable. The only EEG that indicated a problem was a qEEG, a specialized EEG with more leads and analyzed by computer comparison to a database.

I had an EEG and it did not show what they were looking for, then a couple months later, I had a "Sleep Deprived EEG" and about half way through i had a partial seizure, it showed what they needed to see to diagnose me.
I hope they can do this for you to.

Yes, maybe a sleep deprived EEG will help.

I have symptoms just as I fall asleep so they tried to do a sleep deprived EEG. I stayed up all night before. They got me wired up and told be to try to fall asleep. There were workmen next door pounding with hammers so it made it difficult. When I was finally about to fall asleep, I realized that during that final relaxation point, I was not breathing involuntarily. The head support was putting my neck in a position that caused Central Apnea.

Now I know that my Central Sleep Apnea contributes to my seizure like activity during sleep. I have never been able to resolve this issue other than taking gabapentin before going to bed.

Bearpaw,

I see you have found our gain. It is great to have you here with us. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Darlene,

What do you mean by welcome to the 'gain' ?

I have never heard gain used in such a context.
