Multiple Subpial Transections, anyone??

Lisa,Thanks for giving some more info to consider.&nbsp; I'm really sorry you've had such a tough time and had to go through so much.&nbsp; What is the omega that you referred to that helped reduce your seizures?&nbsp; Is this a medication?&nbsp; I'm glad you've been able to reduce the number of them so drastically.&nbsp; I wonder if now, 7 years later than when you had your MST, they know more about how to avoid the language problems that can happen as a "side effect" of this surgery.&nbsp; Do you think maybe they do more pre-surgical testing?&nbsp; I'm wondering: Did you have the Wada test done?&nbsp; What about the subdural grid EEG monitoring?&nbsp; But&nbsp;you still have to be on meds, right?&nbsp; Thanks for your concern about the Topamax.&nbsp; It's the ONLY drug that <strong>HAS</strong> worked for me (along with&nbsp;Klonopin).&nbsp; I've been on it a couple of years now.&nbsp; I have&nbsp;GTC seizures, myoclonic, and partial complex.&nbsp; My breakthrough seizures are most often the myoclonic and partial complex (which can progress to GTC if bad enough -&nbsp;fortunately, not often).&nbsp; But I have to be on such high doses of my&nbsp;meds to prevent that that I have a lot of impairment from them - confusion, memory problems,&nbsp;difficulty thinking clearly, problems with spelling and grammar.&nbsp; I also never had a headache in my life, but since my seizures, I&nbsp; have migraines ALL the time.&nbsp; Sometimes they're so debilitating and&nbsp;I just want to cry.&nbsp; I also have absolutely no energy from my meds, and also I think because of&nbsp;the seizure activity in my brain (don't you think that has just got to take a toll on you?).&nbsp; Anyway, I finally got insurance approval&nbsp;to start my tests, so I am scheduled for inpatient&nbsp;video EEG testing and the Wada test beginning August 22, probably for about a week or so between the two things.&nbsp; I don't yet have approval for the MRI or MEG.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you for your&nbsp;thoughts and support.&nbsp; I hope&nbsp;you continue to do better!&nbsp;
