The last time I saw my Neurologist, he brought up the fact that because of the bleed, I may have scar tissue on my brain & I've read this can lead to more seizures. He didn't go into detail but he did mention it. I plan to ask him about it at next appointment.
In all my research and cosidering I have had all these head traumas, I think I DO have some damage. I experience short term memory loss. I'll think of something I want to say or do that can be important or maybe not important but want to remember and I can forget what it is seconds to minutes later.
I have to write down things I want to do later or tell someone later in the distant future or days later and sometimes I remember later and other times never again.
My hands shake more than they used to and I can become confused in certain situations and sometimes I start to say something the way I word it in my brain but it comes out different just as I have done those times I write down stuff and then it doesn't make sense.
I know I have probably had more than one seizure but not grand mals, I only had one of those but I figure I've had Partial complex ones but if I have, they weren't that serious and luckily never when I'm driving.
Has anyone ever had their doctor tell them they have scar tissue on the brain? I'm wondering if I do have scarring, if it wasn't there before the bleed and was the culprit for the seizure. Hospital report says that they suspect previuos head trauma was the culprit for the seizure and this is in spite of me telling them I'd been hospitalized for high potassium and kidney failure.
I have absolutely no memory of the Grand Mal but I'm sure no one does really since a lot result in unconciousness. BTW, my long term memory is great. I can remember things I did or things that happened more than 30 years ago, sometimes longer, as far back as early childhood.
