The most informative website for epilepsy or seizures in general is below. I get a lot of my information there. Thanks for stopping by and please do your part in educating yourself on seizures, you'll never know when it will come in handy.
What I have:
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of focal (partial) epilepsy.
It can be hard for people with TLE to become completely seizure free with seizure medicines alone, though medicines may lower the number of seizures.
People with drug-resistant medial temporal lobe epilepsy have a higher risk for memory and mood difficulties.
Surgery may help many people with TLE become seizure free.
Most of the time the cause of TLE is unknown. Possible causes are previous prolonged febrile seizures, an injury to the brain when young, or head trauma.
The medication I take is Carbamazepine 200mg/ 2 pills, twice daily. I have been on other medication too such as Keppra, Lamotrigine, and Dilantin. My seizures are the grand mal seizures with complete lack of consciousness. There's a lot more but I'm here for anyone who has any questions or concerns.
