" I think this board is not very busy, but another lady who's husband had surgery mentioned that her husband had seizures if he didn't take his medicine. I am waiting to hear why he has seizures to begin with. I would definitely call the doctor, which I am sure you have. Seems the surgeons are not willing to give to much info, maybe they don't know - not a good sign. I haven't even got to the surgery part yet. Mine has just been found recently. "

" I was told that I would remain epileptic even if they removed the tumour. Even with that news, I would rather the tumour was removed. It's very early days yet and try your hardest to think and be positive about the future. x "

" YES this is NORMAL!!!!!!! after all three of my dads surgerys he had more seizures then even normal for him. dont feel frustrated even though i know it is so hard. think of it like this after the doctors have "stirred" things up in the brain and after cutting and stappling and puting things back together it is the bodies way of trying to get things to settle back down. I know it sounds weird and you would think that things should get better right after the surgery but it just takes a little bit of time even up to a mo. good luck and may God bless you and your family "
