Default Had my eeg today

So that was interesting. Not sure if I had a seizure or not. I figured the technician or someone wouldve of told me if I did though.

Anyways I think I was doing good, then they made me shut my eyes and started the flashing lights. Wow. I sort of remember my whole body feeling like all of a sudden I was freezing, and the right side of my body just started shivering quivering convulsing kind of thing. Weird. Not sure if thats a seizure or what not, but dang my head really really hurts right now. Especially after the hyperventilating. Said I probably wont get results till Wednesday or Thursday though, darn.

Sounds like a seizure to me... hopefully they will call you sooner

Yah im not really sure. It was almost like I was outside in the freezing cold all of a sudden. Thats how I would describe the shakes. I do know my mouth was quivering like crazy because I was trying to control it but couldnt. Before and after the light show they gave me I was feeling like I was back to normal temperature. Was really really weird, never felt like that before. I hit my head on the left back side of my head (Im pretty sure) but it was the right side doing all the weird stuff today.

Like I said, im not sure if it was a seizure or not. I know I was being recorded but the room was dark so im not sure how they could see anything. I just figured if I did have a seizure, someone wouldve told me for safety reasons, but maybe im wrong.

Glad it was recorded... sounds like something that needs to be evaluated!

It is possible that like x-rays or CT's or MRI's even when something is really bad the tech can not say anything...

You can't read anything into the tech's silence. They are supposed to leave results to the doctors.

So I read the report. Nothinh abnormal was recorded evidently. Only odd sounding thing in it was the light test causing a driving but no abnormal results.

I just find it very hard to believe. I know what happened on that table. I mean trust me im glad, but what the heck else couldve caused that. Its listed as a preliminary report so not sure what that means.

Was your test interpreted by the WC doctor? If so, you need an unbiased opinion.
