CBI,
I had a left temporal surgery back in 2004. I had a head injury and they
removed the scar where the damage was. It was a very small, what the
neurosurgeon removed was. I went nine months without a seizure and they
started back. They are not near as bad or as many. I have been on just about
every kind of medicine and on very high doses and none of them controlled
the seizures. After the surgery I was taken off one of the medications I was
on, but I had to take it back in a smaller dose. It is a decision that I am
changed my life to a certain extent. If you are a candidate, it might be
something to think about. If there is anything else I can help, write
anytime. Take care.
