Its not completely 100% but my seizures were the ones I’d fall and start shaking unconscious and then wake up with numb leg or arm and very tired, now I don’t shake i just stare off into space then come back to normal

I had brain Surgery in 1998 and I still have to take meds. I also have Refractory Epilepsy ( resistant to my meds ) . So they don’t work 100%

That even includes the alternative treatments/surgery , like the…..
VNS
DBS
RNS
