EEG's are not the best testing machine. Sometimes it takes 3 or more EEG tests to determine wether someone is having a seizure or has epilepsy. You may just need another test.

You need to be open and honest with your Dr. If you don't trust your Dr. to give you the proper care that you deserve you should look for another one.

I assume you have an attorney? What does your attorney say about it?

"How accurate is the EEG test?

The EEG is not foolproof. It can only measure abnormal electrical activity that occurs during the test period. Sometimes, the brain of the person with epilepsy functions perfectly normally during the test. Or the electric patterns that the device is looking for happen too deep in the brain to be picked up by the scalp electrodes of the EEG. When the EEG doesn't find anything unusual, it is common for the patient to get a continuous, 24-hour EEG monitoring in hospital. About 20% of people with epilepsy have normal EEGs, and a small percentage who don't have epilepsy have abnormal ones!"
