Hello,

I've just recently begin having seizures. Three so far. The first two were at night after i had fell asleep, i was conscious for at least part of it. On May 34th my left arm, fingers and the left side of my face began twitching and jumping. And then on the next day May 25th at 7:20 p.m. I had my first Tonic-clonic seizure at work. Which awarded me a 911 call and an ambulance ride to the ER.

I now have an appointment June 1st with a neurologist. This is all very new to me. I'm scheduled for both an EEG, and a MRI. [Both of which i've never done before].

From what i have read Seizures and tests such as this come almost hand in hand. So i would like to know: What should i expect to happen, what do i need to do to prepare, how long do the tests take, etc . . .
