Re: [epilepsy] Post Left Temporal Surgery

Just my experience and others that have spoken to and dealt with, the seizures may leave for a time but they
will always be there in the background waiting to pop up....should we not take care of ourselves like we
should.

It is just like going on a diet. You can not do a diet of any kind, loose the amount of lbs wanted and then
stop the diet expecting to stay at that point. It is a life style change. Some things we can not change.

Just like my Neuro told me, as I was without seizures for 7-8yrs yet a zombie. He showed us on the EEG the
spot where they originated. Told us they were like a cancer in remission at that point. Knowing that our
seizures can be like a cancer, can go away and in remission a long time but you never know if it will pop up
in a different way in another spot in your body.

Life style change is about the only answer to keep it in control and in a way where you are comfortable at
this point.

They would have to come up with some huge scientific experiment, try it out, get it approved and for me anyway
I doubt much if I will be around by then. Just have to admit I have Ep. and learn to live with it.
Have a good weekend and keep smiling Doris.

Subject: [epilepsy] Post Left Temporal Surgery

If you have had also had left temporal surgery, are you experiencing difficulty with memory post this
operation? Did your operation work toward what it was aiming. My surgery completely stopped all
seizures which were during the day, however it was the start of
seizures when asleep. I have never stopped taking drugs, presently
Lamictal. Since seizures like this occur several times a month, I
wonder if anything similar has been experienced by others.
Thanks for your time and have a super Easter this weekend.

Sincerely, Doris
