About the lesions, I finally found out thats why the Dr is ordering the MRI. Hes looking for scar tissue that might of formed after the incident 7 months ago. He told me that evidently it takes anywhere between 6-9 months for scar tissue in the brain to harden. Says its a long shot because the ct scan never showed a brain bleed, but he needs to rule it out. Says if there is scar tissue that would be the reason the seizures developed starting at the very end and early start of month 5 and 6.

Well that would make sense as to why my problems are getting worse... My body produces an exorbitant amount of collagen and therefore more scar tissue than a normal person... I asked in the beginning if this would be an issue and my GP said no... I am guessing that is not the case... I hope my latest MRI shows something that explains this!
What does the scar tissue do to the brain?
