[quote=Anonymous]I never could sleep much when my son does overnight EEG. I stayed up to read the striking up & down waves on monitor in the dark and googled on my phone trying to analyze how normal or how bad was that which was a stupid move of me doing it, but I just could not help it. Bring eye mask for your kid if your kid is used to sleep in the dark room. The room is not that dark because of all the lights from hallway etc.

My son has epilepsy, and he has abnormal EEG SWI 85-90 percent for many years. He is a rare case because there are no seizures and no medications prescribed, but they just keep monitoring him every year. We have seen a few neurologists, and they are quite amazed that he looks quite great and normal. I was worried that epilepsy diagnosis meant that he had to stop everything that are prone to trigger seizures or dangerous. So far so good, we just keep monitoring, but he can still do sports, sleepaway camp and ride roller coaster(not the super scary ones). [/quote]
