Anyone familair with eeg interpretation?

[Chreey]

I have been having fasiculations aka muscle popping for quite some time now. Also get migrains. Have myclonic jerks. And feel fatigued and achy all the time. Also have memory problems. i have been diagnosed with fibromyaglia. But have had abnormal eegs. First one was a 24hr second was a 48 hr and just recently one that was preformed in the office with a strobe light. All abnormal. i have the first two results but know nothing besides that there abnormal. If someone has any info would be great.

Spike detection revealed three occasion where obvious paroxysms activity in the central head regions during sleep with spike and slow wave noted.

Next one said some sharp activity especially in left temporoparietal region spike detection however realed no ovbious abnormalities. Abnormal study with on going sharp activity and on one occasion correlating with her jerking spasms clinical correlation with seizure activity is therefore warranted.

Thanks for any help chreey

The most common cause of fasiculations is magnesium deficiency. Magnesium deficiency is also a fibromyalgia mimic. RBC (red blood cell) magnesium is a better test than serum magnesium but even then you can have symptoms as only 1% of magnesium is in the blood.

Info from ancient minerals....

"SIGNS OF MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY
The classic physical signs of low magnesium are:1 2 3

Neurological:

Behavioral disturbances
Irritability and anxiety
Lethargy
Impaired memory and cognitive function
Anorexia or loss of appetite
Nausea and vomiting
Seizures

Muscular:

Weakness
Muscle spasms (tetany)
Tics
Muscle cramps
Hyperactive reflexes
Impaired muscle coordination (ataxia)
Tremors
Involuntary eye movements and vertigo
Difficulty swallowing

Metabolic:

Increased intracellular calcium
Hyperglycemia
Calcium deficiency
Potassium deficiency

Cardiovascular:

Irregular or rapid heartbeat
Coronary spasms

Among children:

Growth retardation or “failure to thrive”

CONDITIONS RELATED TO PROBLEMS OF MAGNESIUM
In addition to symptoms of overt hypomagnesemia (clinically low serum magnesium), the following conditions represent possible indicators of chronic latent magnesium deficiency:3 4 5 6

Depression
Chronic fatigue syndrome
ADHD
Epilepsy
Parkinson’s disease
Sleep problems
Migraine
Cluster headaches
Osteoporosis
Premenstrual syndrome
Chest pain (angina)
Cardiac arrhythmias
Coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis
Hypertension
Type II diabetes
Asthma"

No im not on any meds nor have they said im going to be. My first abnormal eeg was almost 3 yrs ago then the 2nd one was done may 2011 that was a 48 hour and now last week my regular one was abnormal. So now i have to have a 72 hr. And i think he is trying to figure out if the muscle pops and mycolonus is from seizure or a diagnosis of its own. i Also have to have another emg. The first two eegs were done by a different neuro and he has proven to being useless to me. So im hoping my knew neuro is much more beneficial to me.

Are you on antiseizure medication?  Because it appears that you have seizures.
