YES!! and thank you for posting. 1995 at 24 yo, Dropped on a golf course due to Gran mal seizure, woke up in ambulance with unending questions through today because it feels like it was yesterday. USC med center where I spent 3 days being evaluated, after this episode, finding a tiny epidermoid cyst, MM's in size, and told these are very common and most likely is the reason for this change I'm now feeling. Take this Dilantin and go... I've told this story in other forums that I consider now to have been, "the wrong place" but as I read here... it resonates correctly. That benign tiny thing in 95 grew very slowly to the size of 2 golf balls, putting too much pressure in the right frontal temporal lobe, squeezing up to the frontal lobe and twisting the brain stem. 9 hour Awake craniotomy to remove as much as possible June 2nd 2009 has lead to extensive encephalomalacia and with latest mri 3/18/24, another "growth"... and damage to the Basal Ganglia. The unending questions are definitely based on extreme curiosity and have lead me to posting this dithering and "hoping" to stand under more people and help to push or pull those up who may be struggling. As I have come to feel my auditory & visual senses are troubled, I have isolated myself by surrounding myself with perpetual fear. I do see the majority of issues with ridiculous irony now. Sorry to make this about me again and hope everyone finds relief from the worrisome difficulties I perceive so many are going through. Thank you again for opening this dialog
