I was at a lecture Thursday night by the EFA branch here near Chicago. One thing mentioned which I've heard many times before says so much in few words. They spoke about after the first few meds tried and don't control your seizures, the lower the chance of success in each new med. you try. More and more they are suggesting looking into surgery sooner than ever before. There are statistics of success you might be interested in asking your Dr. about as far as the percentage of success going down each new med. you try. Maybe those stats. could be found through the EFA? It was most definitely a very interesting lecture followed by Q/A by 2 Drs. The subject was "Epilepsy and Testing for Cognitive Deficits" And boy do I have cognitive deficits (big smile)! Allot of us can truly relate to that (smile)! Take care, keep a smile on your face!
