Hey All, just wanted to *bump* this. I was curious what everyones symptoms were at this point? I am about 16 mo's out and still no seizures. I do have a small something every now and then that scares the heck out of me though.... Hope everyone is still doing well and enjoying life free of seizures!

Hi Greg - I have had seizures since birth due to trauma during delivery. I have never had surgery so honestly with regard to that aspect I can not relate. However, prior to having a seizure my mouth gets numb and a funny sensation in my face which leads to a possible intensity of a complex/partial or tonic clonic. However, I have found that if take deep breaths, the numbness subsides along with the sensation in my face/head. If you want to talk more about how you are doing or share more of your experiences, you can e-mail me at michaelpatrickflynn@yahoo.com. Take Care Michael
