@kla1960
Well I hope your Nero was right and you never have another seizure. It’s great to know your infection got cleared up and your abscess removed however my concern is when they did the Temporal lobe surgery whose to say no damage occurred, no scar tissue will form that may interfere in the brains electrical conduction etc. Regardless of your Neurologists opinion I communicated with people who had progressed to intractable Epilepsy and a man who died. I just don’t understand how your doctor can be so convinced. Doctors aren’t clairvoyant or Gods.I have a question regarding Topamax. As a medical professional I was curious if you ever heard the term dope-a-max in place of Topamax. It’s fairly common terminology in the Epilepsy world.
Blessings,
Jake

I enjoy getting to know you Jake. You are right. I know what you know. I have a mini plate and screws in my skull from the craniotomy. I read my OR report. Part of my skull was removed. My neuro said I could have scar tissue etc. I have never had a seizure involving loss of consciousness etc. Absolutely the 400mg of topomax was too much. As the taper was going on and after its completion my cognition judgement reasoning etc improved again. I also experienced neuroplasticity in the summer and fall of 2014 . The craniotomy was done may 2014. I did my best to cooperate with this process- eat healthier exercise etc. Yes I can have another seizure. Especially in this time of sars cov 2. I see my neuro yearly and she said no more eegs
