Hot showers trigger intense auras + dream flashes, but MRI and EEG came back normal? Lost on next steps
Hey everyone, looking for a bit of advice or to see if anyone’s experienced something similar.
Every time I take a hot shower, it triggers these really intense auras along with rapid, back-to-back flashes of past dreams (kind of like extreme déjà dream / déjà vu).
I went to a neurologist about it recently and they ordered an MRI and a standard EEG, but both came back totally normal. The thing is, the episodes haven't stopped, and I'm feeling pretty stuck.
Where should I go from here? Should I go back to my current neuro and push for longer testing (like an ambulatory EEG), or try to get a second opinion with an epileptologist?
If anyone’s gone through something similar with hot water as a trigger, I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts or advice!
