I have not had the surgery nor can I but have heard others speak of that too Tammy - you are not alone. I
don't think there is a permanent cure or would want to say. It was certainly great that you did have some
control for that period of time at least. I am curious when you have had surgery like that do you still take
your medication as before?
Some people can go for years without a seizure after the implant or surgery and others can't. Did your doctor
say there may be pros and cons about it and that it may not work to your liking?
Take care Tammy
Keep smiling and write any time would love to hear from you.

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.
Tammy
