Hi @crissyh76
Thank you for sharing this additional information.
I'd have exactly the same reaction as you. Wanting to fully understand my diagnosis before continuing on the recommended treatment makes complete sense.
From what you've shared, a more prolonged EEG could be really valuable for you. I'd encourage you to discuss this with your doctor, and if she is not receptive, please don't hesitate to seek a second opinion. You deserve clear answers!
Here's a helpful resource about the different types of EEGs that might be useful as you discuss this with your doctor:

Have you received a diagnosis of what type of epilepsy you have? If not, that's definitely something worth pushing for. Understanding your specific epilepsy type can make such a difference in your epilepsy journey!
