I am going into the hospital tomorrow to have this procedure performed. Even as an adult, I questions about what to expect. I found this video to be very friendly and informative. Thank you.
I've had a problem with flashing lights before but the other day when we did a fire drill at school I didn't go into an episode which would have sucked
My Seziures was unknown they couldn't figure out mine mine was in Sheram Tx Hostipal done EEG my Oklahoma Sooner doesn't support Sleep study for some reason
@Faith Patyk Oh, I've had plenty of EEGs. They're very simple and perfectly painless. What they do is take about 20 or 30 tiny metal disks (called electrodes) with each one connected to a wire. They use some glue to attach them on different spots on your head and then they just leave them on for a while, sometimes they want you to try to sleep, then they use some stuff to dissolve some of the glue and take the electrodes off. Then you're done. There's no pain, and the electrodes are just sensors. You don't need to worry about anything. and no, they can't read your thoughts with it.
@@brandonleskil4523 good news, it took the technician a while to get them on but it wasn't too bad to wash off. I'd say two showers with intense scrubbing and you'll be ok. Best of luck 💕
Chelsey Marquez I personally haven't but I know someone who has. They do this because you have different brain activity when your eyes are closed and many patients have episodes in their sleep more often than in their wake.
This is all they can see. The brain uses electric and chemical signals to work. When something happens in your body a signal is sent to the right spot of the brain. All an EEG does is detect some of those signals. It's not accurate in terms of location (That's what an MRI is for) but it is spot on with timing (Which is perfect for epilepsy, which they're most commonly used for). They use them to see if there are any abnormally large electrical activity or abnormally absent electrical activity.
Thank you for making this. this helped my son to not be scared and to be prepared!
Thanks Erin for helping me to find out about the test I have to have tomorrow. Love Gabriella
Thank you! Now, I know what to expect. 😌
Thank you so much for sharing I just watched with my 6 year old who has EEG in a couple of days she is absolutely not worried now!!!! ❤thank you

Thank you so much for this video. My 7 year old has this teat Thursday and it took away a lot of his worry and fears!!!!!
Jami Slonaker if you don’t mind me asking what was your results
I just wanted to see this so I know im not the only one because I had to wear it all weekend
I've had a problem with flashing lights before but the other day when we did a fire drill at school I didn't go into an episode which would have sucked

Thank you so much I was so confused
I was told to stay up all night before I go in to get my EEG testing (They're seeing if my epilepsy has gotten worse) so I'm watching this xD

and no, they can't read your thoughts with it.
Had one as a five year old very relaxed
I'm getting one done on me but I don't think it's a 24 hour thing
I've had a 3 day long one once.
I’m getting a quick one hopefully
let’s hope this doesn’t trigger my ptsd, as we might have a bit of a problem if it does😂
Nah, they usually put the lights out... so most people end up just dozing off. You'll be good. Lol
Im taking an EEG due to possible petit Mal seizures. My hair goes down to my hips and it's super thick so I've been worrying about that
Same, especially if you're of a different race like me, my hair is really poofy and frizzy, not sure how they're going to get the electrodes on.

I just got back from an EEG myself... good job Erin!
I am taking my hair down now for my eeg they are seeing if I have small seizures
my 2.5 year old is going to be having this done soon. however, they want her to fall asleep during the test as well.. has anyone had that done?

How to prepare for eeg
is she enjoy it?

Has sleep study today
At 730
Same name
can they see what you are thinking about and all the things you remember that has hapend
Nope just the electrical currents in your brain
