Hi jazzbella,

Take my word I understand very well how you feel about having all these tests done. I had to have a video e.e.g. done also but when I had mine they put the electrodes directly on my brain to pinpoint the areas of my brain that were triggering sz. If you can think of anything that triggers sz. for you like certain foods, bright flashing lights etc. let your Dr. know and they may use these things to help trigger sz. so you won't have to stay in the hospital so long. You will probably get bored so be sure to bring a book to read or even a deck or card to play so you don't get to bored. I did a lot of word search puzzles when I was having my test done.

As far as the keppra that's your personal decision to go off of it but I found that when I was on it the drug increased my sz. like crazy and I was on it for about 1 month and went off the drug.

I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
