Re: [epilepsy] I'm new here.



Tristin,

Welcome to the group. I have complex partial seizures. They come from the
left temporal lobe, which I had surgery done there. I went nine months
without a seizure and then they started back. I don't have near as many as I
did before, but I do have enough to where they happen every month.The
seizures I do have are milder than the ones before the surgery.I hope the
surgery stops them completely for you. The neurologist has talked about
wanting me to have it again, but for the time being I am not going to go
through it again. Take care and write anytime.

Tammy
