Thanks Ethan!
Hi Jillian.
Ethan provided you with some great links. If you follow those a bit you’ll see I to have had seizures for years. I was seen by many doctors locally and tried many different treatments & medications. Went through numerous tests before I was seen at Mayos. My seizures are several types but after going through the treatment center discovered I had been experiencing seizures most of my life. I had been having partial complex temporal lobe seizures as far back as I can remember and would wake up with bedwetting which was a indication that I was having seizures in by sleep. My grand mal Seizures didn’t start until after a closed head injury sustained in a car accident. My last seizure was about 2003. I remember waking up with a horrific headache. I decided to lay down for a nap with my children which was out of character since I never nap. My husband reported he heard our children screaming & crying calling “mommy, mommy”. Says he walked in & found me on the floor shaking and making a weird noise. All I remember was waking up in an ambulance. Well I had second one at the hospital so they has given me 3 new medications and I had an allergic reaction and stopped breathing. My children were terrified. I never want my kids to find me like that again!!! I decided to go to Mayo Clinic. Now I’m Seizure free on 1 medication as a result of my testing & monitoring in the Epilepsy Clinic at Mayo Clinic Rochester. It was totally worth the trip.

May I ask what concerns or reservations do you have in regards to going to Mayo’s?

Thanks
Dawn
