Hi Eric Fuentes,
Look up on Google and type focal cortical dysplasia. Your answer is right there!
Diagnosed epilepsy 2017 after two seizures two years apart. Lamotrgine has kept seizures away. Have always been a bit light sensitive but Increasingly in recent months… If I’ve seen a very bright flash of light or spend more than an hour on PC, within 24hr i get a fuzzy headache in one area of head, right centre.. lasts for four or five days and then clears… it’s a fairly recent development for it to be happening so frequently and am a bit concerned.

I'm on a mass amount of medicine. I take my pills. I also take epidiolex which is basically concentrated CBD. I have a VNS which I've had since June 2017.
