I had surgery on the left temporal lobe. The neurosurgeon removed the damage
where the seizures were coming from. I went 9 months without a seizure, but
they did come back, but I am not having 25-30 a month. I have 3-5 now and
they are not near as bad and I am not taking near as much medicine. When I
decided to have it done, the neurologist gave me a person's phone number who
had the same kind of seizures that I had to show how it helped them. It
seems like the neurologist would give a reference to you like that.God does
work in wonderous ways though. I never thought I would be able to get
through a week without seizures before I had the surgery.As for the
SSI/SSDI, I have been on the SSI for awhile. Here in Kentucky it used to
back up and pay for as long as the 1st time you signed up, but now it will
only back up and 2 years now. A friend of mine only got paid for 2 years and
he had been signed up 5 years. I don't know how all that is now. But I hope
this helps you. Take care.
