A member asked:
Can twitching in the limbs during a eeg test for any part of it prove abnormal? i have hemanghihomas on my brain already and take topamax (topiramate).

EEG: The eeg is looking at your brain waves, so it limb movements should not affect it unless they were part of some seizure activity, which is what you were likely having the EEG to look for.
