No it is supposed to be an an eeg study. But they are going to be checking a lot of other things. I have developed stomach issues and more confusion than normal daily. They are also going to put me on a strict diet. It could be something more advanced because I get so upset sometimes about hospital visits, they tell my husband and he tells me after the procedure. I found an article that makes me feel better but I thank you anyway ShannonElder for caring.

It will be fine. They will give you advice on removing the wires.

I had one of those studies(at the time was called depth electrodes)it wasn't the most pleasant thing but afterwards (I had one done to find out where my seizures were coming from the left or right side of my brain)they discovered that the seizure come from the left and right temporal side.taking that test should definitely discover what the issue is.good luck,I will be thinking about you.

I've had 2 video eegs in the past. the glue for the wires easily washes off and I never used a bedpan, I just had to inform the nurse I was going to the bathroom. Wasn't scary but for me it was boring, laying in bed watching tv for 5 days and working crossword puzzles. You'll be fine, you have a large team of friends praying for you.
