My husband called me Professor Gumby. Boy, EEGs suck something fierce! My neurologist wanted to check brain activity during a musical ear episode, so now I look like I escaped the hospital. Does anyone else want to bitch about EEGs? That was the most unpleasant test I've ever had, including allergy batteries and nerve conduction studies. I don't mind the fashion of this take-home exam, but I really don't want another one. Ever. #EEGsSuck #NegativeEEGExperience

@spiegelmama I had an EMG, which also sucked. Let's shock you and see what your muscles do! Yay!

@spiegelmama Never had a take home one but I agree, they suck. I hope you're able to sleep with it all.

@APBBlue So unpleasant! Painful, even.

@spiegelmama Among those who must don such a cranial contraption, I think you wear it well. Wishing you good health.

@cR0w If you can't do the "man woman camera table TV" test correctly, they let you take the test open book.
Seriously, I'm so sorry you have experience here. I thought "non-invasive" meant something different, I guess. Ugh. But hug. 🫂

@spiegelmama Thanks but I did it all to myself. To many head injuries from mostly bad decisions. I feel really bad for people dealing with it all through no fault of their own. Good luck.

@0x00string At least it's relatively compact so I can hide it under some of my hats.

@JosephMeyer Thank you! I hate that for us, though. 🫂

@eniatitova I kind of like the sci fi background character look of the wires...

@spiegelmama my worst procedure was a CT with rapidly profused contrast. Except they accidentally blew the blood vessel and profused it into my armpit. All of it. Walked around with a sausage arm for a week. Hang in there!

@spiegelmama Oh god, I had an EEG over 20 year ago and I still remember it vividly it was so horrible.

@nuintari One of the light patterns reached under my face and hurt me, and I could not stop sobbing for the rest of the test. I hate that this just happens and I went into it thinking it would be fine. I really wish I'd known. Solidarity. 🫂

@eniatitova Oof! That is pretty bad. It really sounds worse than the time during labor when the nurse accidentally stabbed a nerve with the IV and my sister had to tell her because I was speechless. That was quick and the pain ended the second the nurse fixed positioning. This would be a close second to the EEG.

If it has a display anywhere, my friends made a game of showing me things and seeing how the display reacted when they visited me - this was an in-hospital EEG though. Head itchy was a big problem, but darn did it feel great when they took it off and scratched off all the glue!
I might actually recommend an in-hospital over an ambulatory if you can get away with it. I only did an ambulatory as a child and don't remember it much, but as an adult having a week to just focus on the EEG in a hospital was good, at least for my personal goal of having a seizure on-record. All caffeine, no sleep, I wasn't in a place to do much anyway.
Hope you got the info you need!

@marzhall Ha, that's a hoot! I really hate being in the hospital, too. Hmm. I guess it will all depend on what this one shows. Or maybe they'll just strap me in the next time I'm admitted, lol. 🫂

@spiegelmama I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.
