Thanks 7E7....

Sorry for the late reply... I have just got in from a couple of days in London, as I had a medical appointment, on this note, with a neurologist.

He seems quite happy that it is a solitary event, as does my local neurologist. What he said was quite promising.. He suggested that 1/3 of people who have solitary seizures, have a recurrence within one month.... A further third, within one year.... so by going 6 months seizure-free, I have already brought down my own recurrence risk.

I also decided to call up the CAA, who said that they won't rule it out... and they will look at it case by case. With this in mind, once the specialist has looked at the EEG trace, I'll send them his report.

One thing I did suggest to my neurologist, is that the +ve EEG and the seizure were actually independent to an extent, as people can have solitary seizures and have normal EEG's. The thing is, this one was so self-inflicted, though me not looking after myself, I can't help but wonder whether this is possible.

Ahh well, I'll sit here and bite my finger nails (whilst my fingers are crossed!) in anticipation!

Thanks once again.
