Has Anyone Had Brain Surgery To Correct Their Seizures? Im Scared And Would Love To Hear Your Stories And Get Any Advice I Can

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sydney, AU

I've got complex partial seizures with identified abnormality in my temporal lobe. Seizures are focal so my neurologist said surgery is an option I should consider, but I'm pretty scared and not sure it is worth it.

Im not sure about the process of… read more

I Was Not Able To Learn How To Add Or Subtract In School. I Have A Learning Disability. I Eventually Went To College And Graduated.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Stamford, CT

They called it Petit Mal when diagnosed at 7. In 6th grade before getting a Tutor I could not pay attention over 15 minutes. If I had to do any math in school, I could not do normal classes. Eventually in my 20s I was tested, and was found eligible to have a Temporal Lobectomy. I did it because there had never been control on meds. They called them Partial Complex. I was told by not having seizures on the right, other damage to the left dominant side did not take place. I am now controlled, but… read more
