Experiences in surgery recovery

Sat, 07/20/2013 - 14:39

Calling to all experts, i.e  doctor, nurses, and patients who are experienced in or having experiences in handling post-epilepsy surgery / recovery issues.

I was born with cerebral palsy and diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 9. 

Two years ago in July, I underwent left temporal lobe resection.  I have no more seizures, but since then, I have been living with excruciatingly painful headache, pressure, heat (dry and humid alike), and noises all coming from my head 24/7. 

Can anybody give a precise answer of how long these conditions will completely go away?

Hi GG,

You have quite a story!  

I am taking the recovery process one day at a time though painful and difficult.  Life is colorful down here in Los Angeles.  I put off plans on my list until I feel physically better.
