I would like to thank everyone for these compassionate and thoughtful responses. I am very glad to have found this support. I am having the MRI Saturday (day after tomorrow). But no EEG as of yet although the doctor has recommended this, and I am awaiting the appointment. It sounds as though this is not an uncommon condition. And it also sounds as though there are causes other than a brain tumor. I will most definitely keep in touch. Thank you all so much. You are so appreciated.
