My sister has had epilepsy for the last 5 years. We finally were able to get them under control with medication (depakote) and then my sister became pregnant and had to get off of it. Ever since she got off depakote and was pregnant/gave birth she has had 5 or 6 seizures (in the last year). Her neurologist recommended surgery and gave her a referral to the epilepsy center at VCU. We live in northern virginia so we are not that far from INOVA fairfax, University of MD, and Johns Hopkins. It took 6 months to get the apt at VCU.
I just wanted to know if anyone out there has had surgery for their epilepsy and if randomly you lived in Wash DC metro area and had a Dr. recommendation or know/heard anything about the center at VCU???
Thanks so much!
