I’m sharing my recent health journey after experiencing a seizure at home a few weeks ago. I underwent an EEG (electroencephalogram) at Gold Coast University Hospital to monitor my brain wave activity. The process was surprisingly relaxing—small gold disc electrodes were placed on my scalp, and the test took only 20 minutes in a comfy chair. They even tested me with flashing strobe lights to check for seizure triggers (thankfully, all clear!).
A camera in the machine recorded me for the neurologist’s review, which wasn’t as awkward as I expected. As a busy mum, my mind was racing with thoughts of work and chores, so no napping for me, even though they said I could!
This EEG is the first of three tests, with a cardiac stress test and an MRI brain scan coming next. All results will be reviewed at the First Seizure Clinic.
