Epilepsy Disorder

Hello!  I have been having seizures since 199, the doctors still have no idea where they are coming from.  From what I know I was never in an accident or had any kind of head enjury.  Just way day at work I just went out when I came around I ask the paramedic what am I doing in this strecther.  They told me I had a seizure. Since then I am currently seeing a neourology for my disorder.  I have tried so many medications currently I am taking 11 pills a day which is 5 100mg of dilatin, 4 1500 mgs of keppra, and 2 5 mgs of dizphram.  I can say I have been taking them everyday I think of it as food, which I like to eat very well.  After 1 surgey I was told that my seizure are coming from my left side of the brain.  They want to remove part of my brain but that will cause my right side not to function.  Lately to me it's seems as though I have seizure 1 or 2 day before my cycle or the same day of.  I feel as though the medicine is not doing nothing especially when my dilatin level should be between 10 thru 20 and everytime I have one and my levels are taken it is between the right levels.  They started on the job which I currently work and has been there for fourteen years.  Please can someone email me back to give me some adfice. They want to do surgey but I think it is just testing.  Please respond!
