No. Done by a dr at the hospital it was done at.

Like I said im happy but confused. Im just concerned the dr and work will think im lying about it when im not you know? I was maybe just hoping this was the cause/answer for the headaches and foggyness and all of that fun stuff that ive been dealing with for 6 months since hitting my head.

Did that doctor know you were a WC case?

Im assuming so? I mean I registered and they asked for insurance card and I told them it was a WC case. I mean, I think ive only actually seen one WC dr and that was the first two months. The neurologist I see isnt just a WC dr and this guy wasnt just a WC dr either as far as I know. I mean I could be wrong.

Yeah, these docs don't just see WC patients. However, they make good money off WC and IMAs for auto insurance companies. Be warned: they don't bite the hand that feeds them.

Understood. But in this case, I cannot picture them saying everything is ok when it isnt. Plain and simple I guess I didnt have one. Still no clue what caused me to act like that on the table, but hey I dont know. Ill bring it up my neurologist when he calls me with the results. My wife works for this hospital and she just pulled up my file and looked. I signed a paper a few years ago that lets her do that without getting in trouble.

I hope you're right. When I had my MVA I learned that you can't trust doctors.

I have very little sensation in my hands. I was sent for a test to measure if nerve signals were getting through. After a few minutes, the neuro stopped the test and told me that the disruption was minimal. When he left the room, the tech came over and whispered in my ear, "That's BS. Your test was awful. He screws all the MVA patients."

Also it says that during hyperventilation there was slowing in the symetric activity. Oh well, wait for the dr to tell me I guess. Im just really confused why that happened to me, but clearly if it was something crazy the eeg wouldve showed it im assuming. There is no way that quivering and shaking only on the right side of my body is a normal response to the flashing lights. No way do I believe that in the least bit.

Good for you. Believe in yourself, fight for yourself.

Well that was scary. For the past week ive been doing pretty decent as far as having what we think these "seizures" are. Just basically a few zone outs nothing major that I can remember.

On to last night, most of which I dont remember, but some I do. Mother in law came over, and wife wanted to run errands. So we went to Walmart. Guess we went there and my wife basically had to guide me around by the arm because I kept shivering/quivering and spazzing out a little. Ok. We get to the parking lot and I remember my lips just went completely numb, like I had novacane. Now heres the part I really remember, well parts of it. On our way home she said my left arm and hand kept shaking, like real bad. I remember it tightening up big time and trying to grab it with my right arm to stop it. Then I just remember my whole body tightening up and shaking uncontrollably. I remember all of it, I remember in my head telling myself to stop and get control of myself, but I couldnt. Thats where I dont remember much more. I guess it went on for about a minute and I ended up in the passenger seat in the fetal position out of breathe and really tired. I guess after that I did a few more small shaking things, but that was it.

SCARY! Wtf is going on. I know I had the eeg, but it said no seizures. Im afraid to call the Dr and tell them because I dont want them thinking im flipping nuts, especially since I had the eeg already and it was normal.

So beyong sick of all of this. Im also assuming I bumped my head in the process of this all on the seat because its throbbing today.

I am so sorry!!!

Are you allowed to go to the ER? Next time this happens I would think that may be a good place to go... you need to call the doctor and tell him...
