It sounds like your neuro could have just as easily said your EEG results were inconclusive like mine did. Unless there is defined seizure activity, the neuro's don't know what to make of the waveforms. Keep in mind that they are just looking at the 'very general' waveforms. They do not get into the minute detain that is available with more leads and computer analysis such as a qEEG.

When all they are looking for is seizure activity, that is all that they can comment on. PCS may cause some odd waveforms but true seizure activity is rare. Even people with true seizure problems will have a normal EEG half of the time.

So, what value is an EEG? Maybe it is used to placate patients into a 'nothing is wrong' placebo oriented response.
