Always Thirsty
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had surgery last Thursday— it’s been a week— and I am constantly thirsty since then. I feel as though I can never drink enough and am always craving water constantly. Did anyone who went through the full surgery for removing the amygdala in a temporal lobectory ever have the same feeling post op?
