Hi guys,
I am new to the forum and would need some help. I have been suffering from temporal lobe epilepsy for almost 16 years. I have tried many medications but no good results. my doctor has suggested that I go for the surgery. I had all the tests done. All went well except the WADA where it was found that found that most of memory resides on the left and i have left hippocampal sclerosis. The doctor has mentioned that mine's a good surgical case but do have chances of memory loss. So I have a few questions to ask before i take my decision.
Type of epilepsy (If Temporal lobe please mention left or right)
Brain side where most memory resides-
Age -
Date of Surgery (mm/yyyy) -
Success % (if specified by doctor) -
Frequency of seizures (before and after surgery) -
Medications(before and after surgery) -
Profession (before and after surgery) -
Please describe the problems that you faced or are facing after surgery (e.g. Memory Problems , depression, migraine etc) -
How long did you have to stay at the hospital -
Did have to go to any therapist after the surgery -
In how many days were you able to get to work -
Other experiences -
Any advice for me -
Responses are highly appreciated thanks
