My husband has epilepsy. He just (yesterday 5/8), underwent right temporal brain surgery. However, he also has non epileptic seizures. Now, these seizures won't show anything abnormal as they are non epileptic. There is alot of info on the web about this. NES can be controlled by you. My husband had a subdural grid in for 3 weeks before they were able to pick up an epileptic seizure. He had others but they were all non epileptic. Alot of people are missed diagnosed with having epilepsy just because they have a seizure. You must have an abnormal eeg etc. for a true diagnoses. Hope this helps some.

Hi- I have had many EEG's and recentlly a VEEG. They caught 17 seizures on the Veeg and said they were not from Epilepsy because of no abnormal brain waves. I don't even remember half of them so I wish I could help you but they don't know why I have them either, Good Luck.
