Hi Tattoo,
They found activity on both lobes as well as the frontal lobe what I don't get is how could it have spread especially after I had surgery in 1994 on the RTL and there was no activity on the LTL or the frontal lobe. The neuro told me it was all do to stress but I wonder if it's because I went through my change.
As far as a VNS I don't want one of those I want to have gamma knife surgery done or a DBS (Deep Brain Stimulator) put in but they refused to talk about that. When my regular neuro comes back from Italy in a few months they are going over my case and then this summer I will look into the surgery or DBS.
You are correct I also take Diamox and mysoline but I have found that the keppra has increased my sp sz. as well as my absence sz. so I cut myself back from 2000 mg. to 1500 mg and within time I would like to only be taking 500 mg. of the drug. I've found the more AED's I take the more problems I have controling my sz.
Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
