I had a brain tumour as well and had it removed. And as same as you, the operation didn't stop the seizures. I've
been going through this for about 15 years so far, switching over from different meds. just praying that one will finally
control these seizures. It was mainly the day after sex and orgasm that the seizures became more active for me. A
new medication that I have been on has seemed to cut those seizures down from being active after an orgasm. It is
Lyrica. It is still too soon to say if it fully has control over those after sex and orgasm and I'm still testing that out.

I have TLE caused by a brain tumour. I had it removed in November and am doing well. The operation has not stopped my seizures but not they are only at night.
Since the operation though I now have seizures after sex and orgasm seems to trigger it.
I haven't actually told my neuro this yet - but will next time I see him.
The worse thing is we only got married in February so this is not a good start to married life really.
Does this happen to anyone else. Is there hope!
