Not considering surgery at this time, possible never. Mapping identifies the areas of the brain where the seizure starts and that will help my dcotor find the right medication and/or treatment plan.

I've been watching some videos and realize I may also be able to help myself. I notice speaking can be difficult just before or in the early stage of a seizure. Should my seizures begin in the section of the brain controlling speech, then maybe the trigger is my frustration with being unable to organize my words. However, if it's another section of the brain then the real tigger is what I did 5 or 10 minutes earlier.

That may help be control my seizures or maybe believing it does will be the real help. I need to stay positive. I refuse to allow myself to see my situation as helpless.
