Lizard,
What do you think about when a neurologist designs a surgery to be performed by
a neurosurgeon, the operation was unsuccessful. I always wondered if the surgery
was designed in order to show that all of his attempts with medications was as
good as surgery could have been and that surgery was no better. The only thing
that was a success was the possibility of verbal-memory loss which I was warned
of thirty minutes before surgery. During the warning I had no idea of what he
said. I learned of the loss later, but still have the same amount of seizures
and take to same amount of drugs. Shouldn't the surgeon have made slight changes
after seeing the brain exactly rather than to follow the design exactly, all
thoughts would be helpful.

((((((((Bev)))))))).
Any abnormal growth or malformation of the brain needs a neurosurgeon's
attention. A neurologist can't do anything about it and will be clueless as to
whether it requires surgery or not. I am a brain surgery veteran (not for epi)
and can tell you that neurosurgeons do surgery, but they can also tell you
whether surgery is necessary or not. He can also tell you what the "spot" is and
whether or not it can be easily operated on. Your next order of business should
be getting to see the nsg to get answers.
Good luck!
LIZARD :)

Hi my name is Bev , I have had epilepsy & seizures since I was a small child. My
seizures were controlled up until about 4 months ago, when I started having
break thru seizures. I continued to have numerous seizures daily. Friday
afternoon I had a grand-mal seizure that lasted over 30 minutes. I was fully
aware of what my body was doing I just could do nothing about it. During the
seizure, the side of my head continually hit the side of my coffee table.
Finally, when my body decided to stop seizing, I ended up with a severe &
massive lump on the right side of my head as well as pain, well past the 10 on
the pain scale. I went to the hospital, had tests after tests, cat scans and
blood work, all in all, my blood work was normal, then when it came to the cat
scan, not all was roses. A spot was found on the left side of my brain. Now I am
a basketcase hoping and praying that God will intervene. Anyone have any
suggestions on how to keep calm. beverly
