........are just as important as those afflicted,
and our health and its proper maintenance is just as important.
Or how else can we care for out loved ones.
So, no, your message re your EEG is not at all out of line.

I've had EEGs in the past, and they're a piece'a cake. The first one I had
was when I was 13 and my mother thought that my anti-social behaviour (at
13....???...in 1953...??) had neurological connotations. But it didn't.
Then, there was that day in October '97, when I passed out for 30 minutes,
and they took me to the Emergency room, and they did everything there,
including a spinal tap, and yes, another EEG. And again, nothing wrong
that they could find.

And now, 46 years after that first EEG, and just as anti-social....:>) :>)
:>), I seem to be doing fine.

I believe that EEGs are usually done when the doc suspects brain damage or
lesions or strokes (and Alton can correct me here).
