Is there a total cure for seizures?

@Brjudevo First of you all I can’t understand why you’d ever consider something as invasive and dangerous as brain surgery if your seizures are controlled. You may come out of surgery with a worse memory than you have now. I’ve known lots of people who went to college and did very well while on meds.
Speaking of the VNS studies show approximately a 50% seizure reduction in 20 to 55% in some patients with some people with no improvement in others. In addition most people have side effects. Poor odds in my opinion.

Yes I was talking to you but was speaking in generalities. How many seizures and what type did you have prior to your operation?? Congratulations on your education.

I hope you're not talking to me b/c you don't know my seizure history. I did go to college and have a BS in elem ed. with concentration in history. Meds were not working so my seizures were not controlled. I've had several 1000 seizures in my life and I'm in my 40's. VNS wouldn't work either is what we were told so I decided to try the surgery. I never taught except in my Church but seizures are being controlled. I am now taking 4 meds and I now have a son. God has had the wheel in my life
