WADA test

Fri, 01/30/2015 - 20:07

I am going through all the tests to determine whether or not I can have temporal lobe surgery and I will be scheduling the WADA test soon.  Can anyone tell me about their experience with this test, how it felt, side effects, how you felt afterwards, etc?  I would greatly appreciate hearing your experiences with this test, b/c it's so invasive...thank you in advance
