I think that's why I'm getting the EEG anyway....I think he's more a trust the machine kind of guy.....I know they told me to block off 2 hours so I'm not sure how long the actual EEG will be but he told me to get only like 4 hours sleep so I could fall asleep or at least try because that was the best activity....

The resident was originally talking ambulatory EEG and MRI but the attending guy was talking let's do the cheapest first which I think is fine.....he said if it came back weird we would do an MRI....he seemed most interested in the knocking but thought it should be identical....

Here is the thing.....pdoc may be leaning bipolar and you can use anticonvulsants for that as well....it may not matter what I have formally if I still can take the meds.

Basically I was ready to just trust the guy and say....if this is a waste of time let's not do it but then he was all I think we'll get it done to put everyone at ease etc etc. I'm fine with that.

You have to understand I can read about these things and recreate them for some reason with my hallucinations....it's all a game somehow for whatever part of me is sick like diagnostic challenge...last time I thought I was diabetic and bought ketone test strips....consciously I had no idea they even existed but the voices told me to go to the pharmacy and get some.....some part of my brain recalls this stuff and then incorporates it into my psychosis....it's like I told him the only reason I'm getting this worked up was the original psych thought it might be....ie an actual doctor said it might be the case instead of my own mind.
