You need to find a good neuro!.!.I went through 2 before I found the one that I currently like I have epilepsy myself and was diagnosed with it when I was 14 now 21!. I have had every test imaginable!. I have had my license taken away 3x due to state rules!. I have had quite a few EEG's done and AEEG's from what they got off the info, I never had a full blown seizure while I had a AEEG or EEG but I also have two different types of seizures so they were able to "catch" those on the tests!. I guess you could possibly look into having an AEEG done, it is where they hook the person up and then they keep the machine on them the cords are attached to the machine and whenever they or someone else notices something theres a button to push it also records a few times a day!. When I had it done the machine was put in a fanny pack and I had to wear it around my waist, it was a pain but it helped somewhat with the diagnoses!. In the end though they still haven't been able to figure out where/why I have them the only things they have come up with were the "triggers" which are strobe lights, lack of sleep, and stress!.!.hope that helped somewhat, good luck I know it can be a long painful and frustrating time trying to figure it all out!Www@Answer-Health@Com
i have to say you'd be much better off speaking with a good neurologist rather than asking people online!.
my husband recently started having seizures as well (though they are due to a brain injury 4 years ago), and all of his tests came back clear as well!.
unless he has a seizure WHILE they are doing a test, they aren't going to get any results!.
cross your fingers and pray, and speak to his neurologist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
