I posted this in the topic I use as my info and seizure diary topic. Unless you have Epilepsy or know someone who does, you probably don't check in there very often. Tomorrow morning, April 21st at 2:30 in the afternoon, I have an appointment to meet the surgeon and go over the surgery process she will be performing. My surgery is scheduled for April 25th!!! I'm having a Right Temporal Lobectomy done at THE SPINE AND BRAIN INSTITUTE out here in Las Vegas, NV. I've been through all the tests and am ready to go, I'm having brain surgery! Hopefully, this is to end or at least control my Epilepsy. The end result is to hopefully, get my seizures under control and reduce some or most the medication I take for it. Wish me luck, it's been a long time coming and the people I've talked to who have had this surgery have had positive results. It's not always a win, win situation, for some people. For some, it clears up their seizures completely, for others, it decreases the frequency with fewer meds. My surgeon is very optimistic that this surgery should clear up most or all of my seizures and get me off of the dizzying meds I take for them every day! I'm excited but I'm scared at the same time, this IS brain surgery but hopefully it is to get my Epilepsy under control!

QUOTE (CMWriter @ Apr 2 2011, 08:24 PM) QUOTE (garbo @ Apr 2 2011, 01:19 PM) FYI, I just found out that March 26th was wear purple day. I had no idea. :S Shows how popular we epileptics are. I got a pin for it in Washington D.C, but I didn't get to participate in the walk. (My mom's an epileptic.)
Epilepsy definitely needs more resources and funding put into the research, though (IMO). My mom went through her teens and early twenties dealing with doctors and people who had no idea what to look for, quite how to treat it, what it was really caused by, etc.. Ridiculous.
You're exactly right, Epilepsy research is under funded and the medications used to treat and or control it don't work well. I have Epilepsy and have tried most of the top medications, brand name and or generic, on the market to treat it without success.
No seizures for me today, yesterday as of now. I have an appointment at 2:30 today with my Neurologist to meet the surgeon and set the date for my Right Temporal Lobectomy surgery.
My surgery will be at THE SPINE AND BRAIN INSTITUTE here in Las Vegas, NV.

QUOTE (Drumnut @ Mar 28 2011, 02:21 AM) After long last, it's finally time to do something about my Epilepsy. I have a pre-surgery appointment on Tuesday April 5th at THE SPINE AND BRAIN INSTITUTE here in Las Vegas to have Temporal Lobe Surgery. I've done all the tests and my Dr says I'm a good candidate, I'm going to have brain surgery. I'll post more about it before I go in for surgery but, I'm having brain surgery for my Epilepsy! None today... yet I'm looking forward to my surgery!

No seizures lately, I guess my meds are doing what they're supposed to but they make me feel like I'm in fog and I sleep too much.
