[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 170299, member: 1498"] EEGs can rule in seizures but they really can't rule them out. I would have been told my EEG was that ubiquitous "fine" except that there were witnesses to my seizures. It wasn't until I was on Dilantin and some other problems stopped that anyone was aware that I had been having partial seizures for years. My son's sleeping EEG was "fine", too. He has a number of different types of partial seizures and at least one convulsion while he was sleeping. We know about that one because I happened to walk in his bedroom to kiss him goodnight while he was having it. My friend, whose aura is paranoia, has had seizures for decades. He's a priest who lived communally so many people have witnessed the seizures. He never had a positive EEG either. And keep in mind that people who have periods of no memory like blackouts or who have only partial memory of some events my not be so willing to admit it. It wouldn't be unusual for someone to admit it and then deny it or offer some cover-up explanation. That use to happen to my brother -- seems a partial seizure disorder runs in our family -- and he later told me he made up stories to cover time he was missing because he thought that better than letting people know he had no memory of things. My son has only vague memories -- including inaccurate perceptions and misjudging time -- of what happens during his partial seizures. [/QUOTE]
