Sorry to start a new thread, but my neuro has put me on the path of surgical assessment, he seems to think I'm a strong candidate despite clear MRI's (scheduled for one in a few weeks my last one was 10 years ago!).
I have frontal lobe epilepsy and I haven't managed to find a lot of helpful info online as 90% of surgery articles and papers refer to temperal reactions. So basically has anyone here had frontal lobe surgery/grid EEG? I'd love to hear your experiences as I'm pretty terrified especially about personality/motor implications. So any side effects etc?.
I already know the prognosis of frontal surgery is not as successful as temporal. All the neuro tells me is they believe the focus may be near my hand function which isn't a whole lot of help but I guess I wont know until I have the grid surgery. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
