Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / October 2003another eeg, I don't want one
My neuro wants me to get another eeg. It's been years since I've had one but he wants one to look for normal activity. I don't want to waist my time or money. I've been doing good. I haven't had any seizures in a while. I'm only on 400mg of Tegretol and seem to be doing good. I figure if it's not broken, don't fix it. I would have to bring my 4 kids after school and sit with that horrible glue for a half hour. Plus I'm nursing and the baby won't take a bottle so I would have to worry about him. And it's 30 minutes away, with 4 kids in the car. What would you guys do? Kris At the end of the day, you know what's best for you. If it's not going to achieve anything, why do it. That's just my opinion, Good luck to you. Kerrie. > My neuro wants me to get another eeg. It's been years since I've had one but > he wants one to look for normal activity.

If the doctor tells you what to do and you don't want to do it you can tell the doctor to kiss off and get another doctor for yourself. (This usually isn't a very smart move, but you are perfectly within your rights to do it.) It's your body, you have the final word about what people are going to do to/with it!  SignatureDave ????

It would be great if your eeg were normal but even if it were, with the little ones still around the house why risk trying to go off your drugs (unless you're having bad side affects). If it were me, I'd wait until the kids were a little older, but that's only the opinion of someone you don't know and have never met, so do what your head and your heart tell you and never look back. Good luck. Mike > My neuro wants me to get another eeg. It's been years since I've had one but > he wants one to look for normal activity.

Plus I really hate the glue. I'd rather go to the dentist if I'm going to spend money on a Dr. I need a cleaning and it will benefit me more. Kris > My neuro wants me to get another eeg.
