[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 193170, member: 1233"] gcvmom, you can tell your husband that Jess is on her 3rd or 4th antiseizure medication. NO ONE has even brought up the topic of brain surgery. AT ALL. Her neuro does brain surgery. Quite a lot of it. He is the top child neuro in our state, and more qualified than many in surrounding states. And we are NOT known for having the cream of the crop docs in this state. So after either her 3rd or 4th medication (I forget which we are on), to have surgery not brought up would make me think it is far from the normal protocol for epilepsy. There are a lot of antiseizure medications. FAR more than 2 and chop out the brain. That statement makes me wonder if the neuro let some medication student hack out bits of HIS brain. It just is ridiculous. Now there are diff types of seizures, of epilepsy, of causes of epilepsy. Each has a diff treatment protocol. I don't know about every kind of seizure. I have researched the medications because Jess and because my migraines. Antiseizure medications are also used for the fibro, quite frequently. I think the statement about removing the hippocampus was just silly. It certainly isn't applicable to the kind of epilepsy your husband has. They would try to remove the tumors, rather than to remove healthy tissue. Or so common sense would have you think. [/QUOTE]
