Hello my name is Emery almost exactly a year ago today I was working on my car for about 10 hours. I was exhausted, I layed on the couch yawned and then work up 40 min. later to my girlfriend freaking out. I felt fine but I had a grand mal seizure. I'm kinda stubborn so the next day I continued working on my car, my girlfriend and my dad finally talked me into going to the ER the next day. The ER DR. was very rude and thought that I was trying to get pain meds. until he got the results back from the CT scan. There was a black mass about the size of a golf ball maybe a bit bigger. They rushed me to another hospital that had a neurosurgeon on staff. They pumped me full of anti-seizure meds. , and continued to tell me what the prognosis was. I choose to have the crainotomy. Everything went fine. Post-op I have had a bunch of seizures, been on a plethera of differing meds. Now I am on Vimpat and Tegratol. They seem to work pretty good, the reason I have told you this story is I'm having strange things happen and I hope that I'm not the only one. The strange things are of course headaches, (I'm really putting myself out here hoping not to get judged) slight hallucinations (shadows that move) horrible nightmares, lack of motivation, and feelings of being more in touch with the natural world. Yes i know it sounds crazy. I'm tired of being alone in this fight and hope that this works.
