Were eegs in 1998 less accurate then they are today.i had 2 seizures at age 16 in my sleep eeg was positive but never had them again maybe a false pos?

Maybe but...: Technology and changing criteria for certain diagnosis can confuse some pts with a long standing diagnosis. But seizures are unpredictable. The conditons and the substrate that allowed you to have an event may have changed as your body matured.

EEG not much changed: The way in which EEG's are done has not changed from your first ones. If you were taking medication it may have controlled your seizures. After 2 years of control with medication, 70% will come off medication without recurrence. On the other hand, some people have only 1 or 2 seizures and will not have another, especially when seizures start in adolescence.
