WARING; Re:Has anyone else had fantastic results from neurosurgery or is it jus

[Guest guest]

Hi JoAnn,

Congratulations on your success BUT, Every case is different and all

surgery--ESPECIALLY BRAIN SURGERY is RISKY.

As a reminder, one of the people who started this list, Zoe Langley was a

survivor of brain surgery that did not work--but then she was finally able

to control her epilepsy without drugs and has trained herself to be able to

do fantastic work in discovering little known medical research on epilepsy

despite a surgically complicating disability that compomised her overall

health and energy level.

Even the Brain Surgeons at NYU Medical Center were warning that not all

cases are even candidates for surgery, it is a very complicated picture.

I had brain surgery for epilepsy about 10 years ago, when I was 16, and

haven't had a seizure since. They took me off of medication about 8 years

ago. I was still able to get a bachelors degree and don't seem to have any

side effects from it. As a matter of fact when they took me off of medication

my IQ went up. Is it even an option for most epileptics or are most just to

scared to try it?
