This all started last May of 03 with a visit to the ER with unexplained 'myoclonic' like seizures. I have epilepsy had it for 26 yrs, grand mals only. After 2 trips to the Mayo and a week at St. Lukes mayo doing a week study without meds (did not know why the change in seizures) complete change in EEG. Just like the trip to the ER, seizures (myoclonic) would not stop, only way was to adminster ativan IV. Positive PCR Lyme Echr. Mayo dimissed it can alter EEG. In fact dismissed Igenex results altogether, another story. Just wondering if anyone had an EEG that came out really funky.
It sucks, that the only place to find answers is a place that I do not have to pay a co-pay, go figure.
Be well,
Teri

Hello,
I had a single 10-minute clonic seizure early in my illness (which is pretty bad CFS, probable lyme). With marked confusion and flat euphoria. The convulsion was mild and I was able to walk throughout.

I know some others have had lyme-associated seizures.

Moreover, I do know a lymie with a really funky EEG. He has alot of seizures. I will see if he wants to compare notes with you.

I had a 48 hour eeg with repeated 'episodes' that were unexplainable and now they aren't sure if they are true seizures though the only thing that helps is dilantin.

Lyme/bartonella is probably the culprit though, weather change, pressure change, light sensitivity, etc. can also bring them on.
