i did luck out with getting the records i do have. i had that eeg when i had just turned five and then i had another one about 12 years ago but left it too long to get a copy. When PCs were newer, people had records longer than they legally needed to cuz they were stored in warehouses. Now that personal computers have been around a long time, there are few hard copies and computer copies are purged more regularly.

i think i mentioned here before how about 12 years ago i had a bunch of neurological symptoms that were eventually explained as ptsd. i had muscle spasms in my arms and legs, i had these big seizure like feelings inside with no outward signs, and one side of my face went numb. If i was up all night writing a paper, the next day i had trouble walking and poor gross motor control (i might take a step in the air a few times before actually being able to plant my foot). Most of those symptoms went away on their own but i still have gross motor problems if i go more than one day without sleep. Anyway, i remember the neurologist mentioning something showed up on the eeg but that it was nothing he was going to treat (and added "with medicines" as if i was a drug seeker).

i'll talk to my ARNP. She used to be a maternity nurse/birthing assistant so she might have some insight on part of it but is a pretty cool lady and would likely help me find the right person to talk to. i really despise the neurologists around here. i've seen a few and they all seem to be pompous, sexist men. There there little girl. F.U.!
