[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 131678, member: 1233"] They glue leads onto his head. The EEG's that are NOT sleep deprived do not show much. Then the head is wrapped in gauze for a longer one, or not for a shorter one. My daughter had FITS getting the glue out of her hair. But it did come out. They are looking for seizure activity or other abnormal brain activity. When we are low on sleep we are more prone to seizures, or so our neuro told us. We took Jess to see the neuro when the psychiatrist thought she had inattentive adhd. I learned from others on the board to get the EEG before we started ADHD medications because seizures can look like ADHD or any number of other things. We were all surprised (especially the doctor) that Jess was having Absence seizures. None of us knew. Good luck, I know it is hard to handle the hours of missed sleep. Is there someone who can help you with her the night before? [/QUOTE]
