Same thing for me, except I did not have gran mals. I had my surgery in 2008 and still hd some issues until I changed my diet to a gluten free one on the suggestion from some one here when it was still Epilepsy Foundation.org. I still have auras and I am maxed out on three different medications. My neuro sinally sent me to UCLA where I had my right temporal lobe resection done and they put through a VEEG. What they saw was hard for them to diagnose because the seizures went so quick, I think the longest one lasted about 8 seconds and I drooled all over myself. Now they are planning on me going in for a SEEG, intra-cranial EEG. You know, sticking the probes into my brain. I will be in the hospital for at least a week like that. Before all that I will have to get a MEG,,,,,, which I have never heard of before.
