Hi M-I-M,

Just like you I had an e.e.g. done but it didn't show all of the problem I had that was triggering sz. I later had a video e.e.g. and the Dr. saw me having sz. and they got a lot more detail of the areas of my brain that were triggering sz. and the type of sz. I was having. From what you describe it sounds like you may be having a complex partial sz. I have this type of sz. and I will often have pupils dialated, along with smacking my lips, and sometimes I wander around and I don't realize it until after the sz. is over and I find myself in another room. I wish you the best of luck and you may want to ask the Dr. to to a Wada test, spect and pet scan on you while you are there these tests show a lot of detail. Also if you know of anything that triggers sz. for you let the Dr. know I found drinking diet soda or bright flashing lights will often trigger sz. for me. Wishing you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
