GApotsie Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I had an EEG, and the results were pretty normal. I did get extremely lightheaded during one portion - they made me blow breaths to spin a pinwheel while they recorded the brain activity. Everything came back normal, but that blowing wore me out. The flashing lights also gave me a huge migraine afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akavella Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 oh man i hope they dont do that to me. lol. do you have tremors, and if so are they severe? what about memory probs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GApotsie Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I do not have tremors, thankfully. My memory is terrible these days. I have always been a perfectionist in regards to grammar and speech. Now, my husband just laughs when I say something like, "the food room" instead of "kitchen." I make sticky notes as reminders, but forget to look at them too!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
