Another new person =)

I have been having complex-partial seizures for 27 years and medicines have not worked. I now have been told that I may be a candidate for surgery. My seizures started the summer I was 11, following a severe, fast fever which a cause was never diagnosed. At first I called the seizures "spells" because I did not know what else to call them. I zoned out for a few minutes, had some changing with my breathing, and seemed to be "out of it" for several minutes afterward. My parents took me to a pediatric neuro. and they were told that it may be a tumor or possibly epilepsy...wasn't able to make a better diagnosis until after testing. We found out that I had "petit-mal" seizures. In high school, I was on Tegretol, Phenobarb, Dilantin, Inderol, and Elavil all at once. Led to a very busy social life (NOT! =)). However my seizures never interferred with a driver's license as my mother was able to guesstimate monthly if I had a seizure within the past 3 days. As I got older, my seizures began to only occur at night. Hence no problem with driving. When my husband and I found out that I was pregnant, we needed to look at some serious things. I was 12 weeks pregnant and did not know it, I was still having a period/spotting, I had been on the pill, and I had no other symptoms. We were told that we may have a Spina-Bifida baby, a Trisomy 18 baby, or many other serious defects. We decided to keep the baby. During my 7th month of pregnancy, I was driving to work and had a major seizure. I hit two other cars, and almost lost my baby due to pre-term labor. As luck would have it, Jacob is now 10. Five years later, we decided to try for another baby. This time we were considered a high-risk pregnancy and had all the necessary care. However, I did have a seizure while cooking and severely burned my hand. Adam is now 5 and both my boys are normal. I would like to talk with other people who have had a WADA test, and the residual effects. The more I know the better off I am since I am a possible candidate for surgery. Thanks
