@jakedduck1 Hi Leonard, long time no talk. I just had a VEEG done. My whole life I had thought muscle twitches around my mouth were seizures. I have several of those a day. I never had a neurologist tell me otherwise. I had to have got that info from a neurologist, right? I have had epilepsy for almost 60 years, so multiple neurologists. My VEEG showed no seizures for 48 hours. The Epileptologist did see abnormal activity that he said was epilepsy, so yes I have it.

Now we are looking for blank stares or missing time, I have both tonic clonic and complex partial. The tonic clonic are well controlled. I am now unsure how well controlled the complex partial are. It is hard to tell when I have a complex partial since they are short in duration. Perhaps 2 tenths of a second? My wife and I thought I had one while on the VEEG but I didn't.

The VEEG along with a memory test did show a sleep score so bad the neuropsychologist said he hadn't seen a number that bad for years. So we are now working the sleep angle now. Not that we hadn't before. That is another long story though.

I am monitoring this site for connections between epilepsy and sleep but am not seeing much. It is a well documented connection so I continue to look.

Oh sorry, the Psychiatrist...I seen the Psychiatrist at the recommendation of a Counselor, probably for 2 reasons. In my organization there is a heightened awareness of suicide and I was probably exhibiting signs the Counselor was required to ask about. I did end up having a tonic clonic due to the stress and several other factors.
