I want you to know I understand how you feel. After I had my 2nd brain surgery my short term memory went down hill terrible. I found out that was because my neurosurgeon found out that the hippocampus on the right side of my brain had become hard and it shrunk so they removed it since it was not helping me at all. Ever since I've had E. I have had a very poor balance and coordination my epi told me that the reason why this happened was do to the brain damage causing my sz.
I've had E for 35 yrs. now and to this day a lot of my family doesn't understand it. They think I'm being moody and depressed but it's the right temporal lobe causing this along with my AED's. I have tried to explain it to my family but they have just pushed me out the door.
I'm learning to let them go since they want to be like that and I know that I have many other friends and family that care. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
