      Thanks for the hug Karen. Yeah, you're right it is frustrating having the computer down, but I come into the library when I get the chance and play catch up, at least for a little while. Just keep plugging away..........it will get better in time! Love and hugs, Lorraine :)

      Seems like it's been ages since we chatted Karen. Glad to hear that you are improving, even if it is slowly! Just keep on hanging in there. I'm doing okay thanks. Unfortunately my computer seems to be having issues so I'm returning hugs from the library. Hopefully I'll have it up and running again soon. Take cre. Love and hugs, Lorraine :)

      My Children and I layed their Father to rest on July 1st of this year! He died with Sarosis of the Liver ! I have to admit, my life has been quite empty and sad since ! Other than that, I'm doing quite fine! Did the operation take care of all of your seizures? Let me know! Take Care, Dear ! Kim

    • Close Epilepsy & Seizures

      Febrile convulsion at 11monts. Diagnosed with epilepsy at 5years old, grew out of seizuresat 11 years old, at age 18 they came back have been uncontrolled since with the use of many different AEDs. I went through a 3 years period that Drs felt it was a psychological issue. Had testing in January and confirmed surgery was the most hopeful solution. Had a left temporal lobectomy June 27, 2008.

      Treatments

      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      Use for sleep, but seems to help with seizures
      Clobazam Not Working
      did not work
      Keppra Not Working
      Tried it and had very negative side effects (suicidal thougths)
      Surgery, Brain Too Soon to Tell
      Had left temporal lobectomy June 27, 2008
      Tegretol Working / Worked
      Currently on it - has reduced seizures but not in complete control. Find myself to be very tired in afternoon.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      Was removed from drug because of behavioural changes and it did not control seizures.
