As some of you know, I was in a bad car accident in March of 2011 and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Since then, I"ve had probably 6 instances where I've had lightning flashes across my field of vision for a few minutes and then feeling really tired afterwards.

My rehab doc sent me to a new neuro-opthomalogist to make sure that everything was structurally okay with my eyes. The neuro-opth thinks I am having seizure activity. She ruled out migraine aura as it does not seem to related to having or not having a headache or an increase in intensity of headache as it relates to my usual TBI headaches.

My rehab doctor scheduled an EEG for this coming Tuesday. I will then see her on Friday.

What should I expect for the EEG? How long do they last? Will they tell me that day if I am having seizure activity? What kind of questions should I ask? (I'm totally unfamiliar with this). I just want to make sure I get as much information as I can so I know how this will effect my TBI stuff.

Thanks in advance for your resposnes. I'm hoping if I know what to expect and what to ask, it'll reduce teh anxiety I have a little bit.
