Advice & Tips
This was the SURGICAL treatment that for months I tested for and the surgery produced a seizure free person! I'm still taking Keppra, but I was also on Trileptal (and that caused me some major problems right after surgery; put me back into the hospital for another week). But I'm doing great!

My surgery was a must and I just accepted the differece in my appearance after, I have no control on the L side of my face from all the nerve damage during surgery but I'm happy to be alive. I had seizures but my Dr. has been controlling them with med. I was always a very independant personand I must say this changed my life.
