Dear Cheryl,
I hope you are having a 24 hour sleep deprived EEG.
The lack of sleep makes it easier to provoke seizures.
Do not use coffee or other caffeine drinks to keep
awake.

The idea of the EEG is to confirm spike and wave lines
to confirm epilepsy.

Please do remember that 50% of all people with
epilepsy have a "normal" EEG and 10% of so-called
healthy people who have never had a seizure in their
lives have spike and waves in their EEG's.

Good luck.

Yours truly,

Monica
