I Have Epilepsy

Only 1 week and 6 days and bye bye to epilepsy! They finally found the place to cut it out.

My operation is over and everything is okay. My seizures are at least yet seized. Language center is a bit injured but rehabilitable. All well!

Fantastic!! I'm so happy for you. I hope that's the last you ever see of them.

My medication is still at place. 3 months and then to reduce. :)

No seizures even yet but still exhausted at times.

@MipetKari: that's such great news. It would be so awesome if that were the end of it for good.

Over 2 months from operation and I have still vocal difficulties, also problems with balance, especially when tired. Control visit at doctors in 2 weeks.

How are you in the seizure department since the surgery?
MipetKari · 56-60, M
@crossproduct: no seizures. 😃 I can sleep!

that's so awesome! I'm so happy for you 😃 Here's hoping the nightmare is over.

Tomorrow I'll get to see a neurologist, so maybe my medication will be reduced as no seizure yet still. Post operational scans in a month.😻

I have 5 different med now so less is also better. :) I get seizures daily at dawns. 1 week and 5 days and counting! :D

Fingers crossed! I hope this sees you free of the meds, one of my bipolar meds is actually an epilepsy drug and it makes me nauseous and forgetful.

@crossproduct: forgetful is very known to me, half pensioner archaeologist. Remember stuff at work but home things, well. :)

Yes, they made MEG-scanning and found finally my prenatal brain missgrowth like grey and white matter mixed. They made sencory and motorfunction scans and it is just behond my skinfeel center. I might get numb areas but motorics wont't suffer. Their target is to get it all out or at least 80 %. They have this thing, a censor, which tells if there is brain activity areas not to cut. Kuopio is maybe the best facility in Finland. Still stressed and worried but hopefull. I am 51 y and had this since childhood. How it is to live without medication, no idea!
Good luck!
