EEGs And Cannabis

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

For the folks who do use medical cannabis, regularly, do you stop when you are having an ambulatory EEG? Cannabis helps me with stress and I find EEGs quite stressful, but I don’t want to mess up the results.

Personally no eeg that I have never worked. I have had the usual ones just sitting in a bed in the hospital. Then one that was 24 hours long, then the longest a week, every thing was glued to my head, then all the cords were plugged into a machine that was attached to a belt around my waist. The last test I had was the Depth Electrodes Test, not very fun. Small electrodes implanted inside my brain. Now I have the Vagus Nerve Stimulator. If You have any questions feel free to ask them.

Ive been using marijuana for years, but yes i do stop a couple days before my EEG to get accurate results. Certain strains hurt instead of help so I have to be careful with that. Cannabis especially helps recovering from a seizure. My last EEG they let me hit my vape in my room and everything. I guess they wanted me to act like i do at home.
