@adoptivemother I am 69 and developed focal unaware seizures after a stroke 10 years ago. I've tried various medications and Keppra caused depression and just made me a not nice person. I had an RNS device implanted just 1 month ago. Recovery from surgery has been less difficult than I expected. I didn't have to shave my head and simply cut my hair into a shag. You have to look very closely to see the incisions and once my hair grows back, they won't be visible. I have my 1st device programming this coming Friday. This surgery was offered in the beginning and I felt the same way. Today, I am glad I had the surgery. I'm still the same person I was before the surgery.
