You are admitted to hospital. Hooked up to eeg wires on your head and actuallly videotaped to see what happens IN your brain the second you seize. They even have a button to press which will mark the eeg tracings if you feel an aura.
Dics do this do diagnose tough cases of epilepsy or as inbmy case a combo of epilepsy and psychogenic seizures is found. They also use a simular method when they are taking the deseased part of the brain out. It is pretty standard everywhere. As I've had it done in Canada, and in two hospitals in Colorado as well. There is actually an international requirement of where the leads go for video eegs. I don't reccomend them though. While it's computerised and you can get up and go to the bathroom and such. Having the eeg leads on your head for a week REALLY messes up your hair!  |
I again had to have this kind of EEG process done during the diagnostic process of my Multiple Sclerosis. the same process was done where I had to go into the hospital, undress and for 24 hours be hooked up to the EEG/computerized machine and be video taped. the same thing happened where I was not given the actual video. when it was done i got dressed went home and the doctor scheduled the follow up appointment where he told me what the video and wires told him of whats going on.
