Re: [epilepsy] eegs

Lisa,

My seizures started at the same age. My mom told me that one day, while we
were visiting my grandparents, I went down the basement stairs and hit the
concrete floor. Some of the damage is still there, but the temporal lobe
surgery I had the neurosurgeon removed most of the damage. The surgery
helped a lot, but I still have seizures. Not near as many in a month's time
as they were before the surgery. The doctor's told my mom I would outgrow
the seizures, but I never did. When I became a teenager they got worse. Hers
is in a different part of the brain than mine are,so maybe hers will be
different. I am 40 now, and dealt with them most of my life. The neurologist
told me there would always show the damage on the EEG's where the damage
was.Take care.

Tammy
