Has anyone had brain mapping?

Yes, I have had that done. It was actually done in the hospital when I underwent a several day study to find out how extensive my seizures were. I guess it also does depend on how your doctor writes up the order. Unfortunately, I never saw the results of it. He only talked with me about it. I am also very medication resistant, which makes it extremely challenging when trying to find the right meds to help with this condition. I found that because my seizures affect every part of my brain surgery is not an option for me. For me any information that gives me more insight as to where the seizures are affecting my part of the brain why they are happening where they’re happening, is insightful information. I am learning new information about it all the time. It is not painful. Just make sure that when you have the testing done that your doctor explains everything to you and ask as many questions as you possibly can if you are uncertain about the situation or the procedure. I wish you good luck with it. If you have any more questions, please feel free to hit anyone up here and I can comment again if necessary.

Thank you for the information, I'll make sure to ask a bunch of questions.

How was your mapping procedure done? Were you hospitalized, taken off all medication and wired similar to an EEG? Stopping all meds is scary, I had a bad seizure when I was hospitalized, heard the nurse tell the doctor they called in the stroke team because my blood pressure went so high.
