Emotion triggers after surgery?
Mon, 07/02/2007 - 08:44Topic: Surgery and Devices
Hi everyone,
I have a question for those who have had surgery and can possibly help me out please?
I am a candidate for surgery and have to go thru some tests yet before I make up my mind whether to go ahead with it or not. But one thing I'd like to know is, if anyone can answer this one, is about emotion triggers for seizures.
In other words, every day of my life I have to keep an eye on my emotion to make sure I dont trigger a seizure, lige get too stressed out, or get too excited or get too upset etc. I have to try and stay on an average scale you could say, which I cannot always control of course, I am only human after all!
So my question is, does one after the surgery still have to continue focusing on controlling their emotions to avoid triggering their seizures?
Can anyone tell me this? I would really appreciate this.
Many thanks in advance,
Quirky

No problem quirky. I just wanted to wish you all the best for the remainder of the testing. I hope you get the results you want to enable you to move forward in whichever way seems right for you.
Best wishes.
