Born with epilepsy but...

Hi all.  I am Sheri, 37 years old and now "cured" from epilepsy.  I had brain surgery in 1990 where my right temporal lobe was removed and since then I have had no seizures.  I think I have small auras still but not enough to worry about.  I was taking 4000mg of meds daily while still having 5-20 seizures a day.  I went to a hospital in London, Ontairo that has an  Epilepsy Unit and my surgery became part of their study.  Obviously I have some things to learn because there are terms out there now that I don't know of.  I can only pray my being part of the surgery research will have helped to improve.  God bless you.  If you want to chat, let me know.

Hi Christine.  I am glad your seizrues are at least partially under control.  It is a horrible feeling when you have seizures.  I had every type of seizure there was so my type of epilepsy was Complex Partial/Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.  I am sorry your seizures are not gone completely, but like you said, at least it is an improvement and with improvement you can do a little more than you did before.  I pray you stay well and even find complete healing somewhere.  God bless.
