thank you for your reply to my question i had ann eeg which showed only small abnormalities my ct scan was fine.i am now going to go for a sleep deprived eeg. was also wondering if u felt the weakness and fatigue is asociated with myoclonic epilepsy because my neurologist feels it should not be.obviously the waiting times are enormous here and i would like to get my health back. no medication is giving me the slightest change in my health.

It doesn't seem likely that the weakness and fatigue you are experiencing is associated with epilepsy. These symptoms are probably caused by the emotional stress you are experiencing while you are waiting for the results of your examination.
