A lot of people on this group have gone thru a lot of stresses which make me feel not alone. I have been in my apt. and had a seizure and woke up running in the neighborhood. I contacted the Neurologist and he changed in his office and changed medication. It happened again and changed again and it never happened again. I had several things happen in my life that a lot of us can say no more...The Neurologist or Epileptologist, nurses, family, friends that support us make things liveable.
I also have problems dealing w/ the respiratory system and at one time cardiac system too. I learned to contacted my physicians patiently. He only gives us what we can handle! ( who stated that?)
I wish you the best on your heart surgery!

I feel your struggle. Even though I have been good living life and all it just happens and then BOOM I get hit with another seizure. I just had my 5th one in 2 years even though my Dilantin was in a normal range. My neuro pretty much gave up and said "I recommend you go here..." and "try this..."...just stay strong you can pull through it. I don't think its your body saing to give up but more your mind...the frustrating effects of everything playing with your head. I thought I was fine and had a tonic clonic in my bathroom and sliced my forehead and had to get 8 stitches so for me at least its more like what more can I take?
