A member asked:
Is there any place to get a free eeg i have been seizure free since 15 im 30 now epilepsy foundation wont give me one until dilantin is stopped?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why get one?: The eeg is a tool to be used by a competent neurologist. A free eeg will be worth what you pay for it. It will not make decisions for you. It will be useless unless recommended and interpreted by a physician who knows the value of the test.
