Have Any Of You Had A Temporal Lobe Resection For Your Seizures?

I have uncontrolled seizures and they went to see about the surgery or another kind of medication, but the medication have not been working.

I’ve always been one who has 1 or 2 seizures per month. Ever since I got the RNS I have more 1 seizure months. If you have more seizures I believe you’d see a bigger improvement. Not only that but the RNS records my brain activity everyday so I can send all the seizure information in to my doctors everyday. No more EEG’s.

They did not offer that to me. Does it work well?

I had a temporal lobectomy back in 2000 and I've been seizure-free ever since. The only noticeable side-effect is my emotions. I used to never cry but now I cry about everything.
