About Me
- About CQ:)
- Seizure Background
- I was diagnosed with epilepsy as a baby & I used to have Grandmal Seizures regularly from 9 months - 2 - 3 years old.
I went 22 years seizure free until May 2002 when at the age of 24 I started taking seizures again & I was diagnosed with Left Front Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Most of my seizures were auras & complex partial seizures.
After trying me on 5 different medications, with none of them helping to completely control my seizures my Neurologist suggested to me to think about having Brain Surgery to help control the seizures.
I decided to give the surgery ago & after having a series of different tests done to see if I could have the surgery I was told in November 2010 that I was a good candidate for the Surgery. On 10 March 2011 I had left side frontal lobe labotomy.
Update as of March 2012.
I'm now 12 months seizure free since the surgery & aiming to go 2 years seizure free now.
I am now able to start to gradually reduce one of my meds & on 26th March 2012 I lowered my Tegretol under the supervision of my Neurologist. - Treatments
