i want to know as much as possiable about it they r talking about doin this on my daughter
I have heard in the past from several friends who have tried many others including surgery, implants or non-medication alternative methods. However, I think it would help if those of you who have to share your experience with those are now at the point where they have been told that medication will never allow them to reach a long-term seizure free state.
If Q + A section was better organized, then I would not have to ask this question, but we have a support site, so we have to do what we can… read more
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Everyone gets nervous. Usually what helps is if you talk to your epileptologist/surgeon. From the surgeon, I learned there was a better chance of dying from a car accident… read more

Weird question. But has had anyone had any type of surgery where they have been put under anesthesia, and if so did it effect their seizures. I had knee surgery and it was noticed by some people that for a while when the anesthesia was in my system ( for the first week or two as anesthetics last in the body for a while) my seizures were absolutely non existant and i noticed i didnt experience any of my normal symptoms with my epilepsy. Has anyone else experienced this?
Sorry to hear that it triggered the grand mal seizures, but it is great that you are not having any since
It would be great if you can get to a long-term seizure free state with the petits mal too,… read more

I'm going to have the RNS implant in March. And all I want to know is has anyone else had it done and dose it work . I go in March to Vanderbilt medical center in Nashville Tennessee.
As some of you know I have had seizures for 24 years. I am having these blackout spells in just 1 eye. My seizures are coming from a damaged nerve in the left side of my brain. I blackout in my right eye sometimes. I know its completely normal, but I was just wondering if other people have had them.
Yes but I put on new med and good. Thank God
