Default Had my evoked potential test today

Hopefully results by the end of the week. Only problem was that I had taken a shower yesterday. It is such an effort to dry and style my hair and the goop just ruined the back of my hair

I hate that goopy gook.

Let us know how it went.

I don't know if I can thoroughly explain it but I will try. It is to test the transmission through the optic nerve. So you look at this TV screen at this checker board pattern with a red dot on the middle while an EEG is done, thus the reason for the goo in the hair.

Default Blow Drying Hair

When I had my initial sx back in 04 this was what I hated most. By the time
I showered and blow dried my hair I needed a nap. It was so frustrating

Hope you get what you needed from the test. Keep us posted.
