@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member
I have had Temporal Lobe Seizures for over 30 years. First doctors believed they were from a traumatic head injury before I was 2 years old. Now doctors believe my seizures are more from birth asphyxiation. I wasn’t breathing which killed my brain cells and caused brain damage (seizures)
