<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.IN 2008, I CONTRACTED GBS APPARENTLY FROM A FLU SHOT. TIME DEFINED THE CONDITION AS CHRONIC, I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE DOC IN SALISBURY, MD. ANOTHER DOC FRIEND OF MINE MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR ME TO BE SEEN BY DR. NICHOLAS MARAGAKIS JOHN HOPKINS. VERY SATISFIED WITH ALL MY VISITS PROCEDURES. RECENTLY, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SIEZURES. THESE STARTED OUT AS RLS. HOWEVER, IN THE PAST YEAR WHEN I GO TO BED, IT TAKES ONLY A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE SIEZURES BEGIN. I KNOW WHEN THEY ARE COMING. THEY SHAKE MY ENTIRE BODY, LASTING ONLY A SECOND OR TWO. HOWEVER, I MAY HAVE AS MANY AS 8-10 ONE RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER. I HAVE EXPERIENCED AS MANY AS 140 IN A 3 HOUR PERIOD. I ASKED THE LOCAL DOC TO PERFORM AN EEG. HE SAID IT WASN T JUSTIFIED! I AM CURRENTLY TAKING ROPINEROLE 4mg EVERY NIGHT PRIOR TO BEDTIME. BORDERLINE SUCCESS. I AM A 72 Y.O. MALE. I AM HAVING CHRONIC PAIN, MUSCULAR JOINTS, DIZZINESS, BALANCE DIFFICULTIES UPON STANDING SINCE THE G.B.S. I WONDER ABOUT M.S, PARKINSONS WHATEVER ELSE. WAS HOPING A EEG WOULD GIVE SOME CLUES? WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT. RETURN BY YYYYYY THANK YOU  <response>: Hi, I am in agreement with obtaining an EEG based on the need for us to be able to correlate an electrical record with the actual episodes of physical tremorsshakestwitches you are experiencing. In fact, if these episodes are happening frequently enough I would even suggest putting you in a monitored setting for at least 72 hrs. To perform a video EEG recording which would include sleep deprivation and other activating procedures to see if an episode couldnt be provoked. The EEG is not designed to inform on anything as a test except convulsive or seizure activity in a patient. The detection or testing for the number of other conditions youve listed would have to be done by other methods. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
