Could be anything man. I have been having auras for the past 8 years post surgery and I am now looking to be going back in for more surgery. First was my right front temporal lobe resection and most of my right Hippocampus. Now they think that it may have "moved" more towards the rear and will have to do another resection. When I went in for my VEEG in January, I lit up like a Christmas tree within the day they took me off my meds. I didn't realize how dependent my brain had become on the medications! Scary.Later,Racer

Meanwhile, never been this depressed in my life because still not driving, and wife cannot drive, so we have to do UBER and taxi almost everywhere. -- John

Slowing shows on my EEG where my surgery was and dr says it likely always will. As long as no "spikes" show they say no szs.
