History of seizure disorder
I had epilepsy until I was 3 years old. No one could figure out why it had randomly started to digress. I used to get them everyday, than it switched. I began to experience them less, and when I would it was no longer during the day but at night. Today, I am completely functional and have not experienced another seizure. I am training to be an EEG technician. Is it safe for my classmates to preform an EEG on me and run test such as photostimulation, which is used to typically attempt to provoke an absent seizure??
