[quote=Anonymous]Took our son to a pediatric neurologist to get checked out for seizures. He occasionally "zones" out, but not everyday, and not for multiple times per day. Hes not making any strange faces or movements, and this doesn't happen in the middle of say eating or walking. Its usually when he's playing quietly and kind of spaces out. Sometimes happens during story time at school. She did a bunch of physical tests and talked about absence seizures and that this doesn't sound like those nor does it sound like complex partial at all. Also did the hyperventilation test and nothing happened.

She said we should still do the EEG anyway, because son has ADHD and if we want to medicate, we should rule it out. The test sounds like a nightmare. I suppose we should do it, but given how crazy my son gets if he doesn't have enough sleep, I do not see this going well at all. I mean, I could see him completely not cooperating, and maybe not even being able to sleep from being overtired.

Would you do the EEG anyway?
