Please stay away from brain surgery for epilepsy. When the doctor suggests "scar tissue removal" he really means "healthy good brain tissue removal"When healthy godd brain tissue is removed from a human subject, this causes further scar tissue, which results in greater epileptic convulsive disorder, cerebral hemmorrahaging, and status epilepticus. Every year in Canada, 2400-4600 people die as a result of status epilepticus. The number one adverse effect of temporal lobectomy. If brain surgery is so helpful for epilepsy, then there should be no fatality rate.
If you are really concerned with seizure control, get some marijuana. CBD in pot acts as anticonvulsant, while THC takes care of cancer cells, poor appitite, and negative psychopharmcological effects such as depression, and suicidal tendacies.
Stay away from THC delta 9, synthetic form, since THC is well known for paradoxal effects for treating epilepsy.CBD is so effective, that it over rides any paradoxal effect of THC.
Every good doctor knows that all remedies must be exersized before surgery.
No reason to exclude marijuana.
A joint in front of me, is better than a unauthorized lobotomy.

i have had epilepsy my whole life, i think that i have been on every med that there is. i have had WADA tests, EEGs, in depth EEGs, MRIs, i can go on and on. so i have the holes in my head, i've had the wires in my brain, through my heart to my brain. I've been in the hospital countless times. My daughter found me once on the floor in a three foot puddle of blood because i had one and fell and broke my nose. i have so many stories, i've had every type of seizure i know of, that is alot of different seizures. just today while trying to help my parents with their new home, i had to take a break because my meds kicked in, i couldn't see more than five feet in front of me. I now have the best doctor in the pittsburgh area, we have been going back and forth about the idea of a surgery. I've just been curious as to what other epileptics out there think of my situation.
thanks
