EEG results - generalised cerebral dysfunction

I'm embarrased posting here as I know my concern over this is tiny compared to the experiences so many of you have living with epilepsy.

But I thought many of you will have had EEG's and perhaps had come across this ?

The EEG was to investigate the possibility of epilepsy .The result was negative on that front but the "generalised cerebral dysfunction " showed up .

The consultant didn't seem bothered by this - so i know I shouldn't really be concerned .Unfortunately I was so taken by surprise that I allowed myself to be swept along by his conversation without persuing this .

And of course now I am worried .Have booked a GP appt but of course it's weeks away .

Anyone know anything about this ? I would be so grateful to hear from you .

Doctors use different ways of describing things, so it will be best to speak to them about your EEG result. Hopefully you'll get clear and reassuring information from them soon.
