I'm 16 and I went to chkd today and I got
told I could have some form of epilispy.
This really scared me, I was told I needed
an eeg . I think i'm more or less scared
because this could mean a lifestyle change
for me. I dont know what to expect. And
I can try and pretend like it doesn't
bother me but it does. I mean why would a
migrane suffer have to have an eeg for
eplispy it just doesn't make sense to me,
can some one help me and possibly explain
it to me? :?

I don't know why eegs are done, but they
are pretty common to rule out any
additional problems in the brain that
cause headaches. I've had one and it was
painless and easy (and didn't turn up any
strange problems). Why would the eeg
cause a lifestyle change for you?
