Have you had an Ambulatory EEG?

Hello @lsittll. I can understand your concern for this diagnostic procedure and why you would want to connect with others who have some additional experience and/or knowledge about it. I believe that @jakedduck1 has shared information on Ambulatory EEGs in previous discussions. As well, members @mboulis and @sdneb44 have also both shared their experience, albeit some time ago, in other discussions and may come back to share more with you.
Have you shared your concerns for when you are sleeping with the helmet on with your Neurologist to see if he/she has any particular advice? When is this scheduled for?

Hello @amandajaro!
I am having the ambulatory EEG now until Thursday. Much different than the hard hat football helmet I saw online. It must have been an ad or cartoon. There are sires like a normal EEG all over my scalp and I carry the electrodes in a bag on my shoulder, I don't know how I'll get cress and undress and sleep and do some other activities with that thing on my shoulder.
I have electrodes on my forehead. I don't feel comfortable being seen that way. to think the EEG techs would hae me walk out of the hospital with my head exposed with all of these wires all over it.
