Seizures after surgery and effect on medication

Sun, 01/09/2011 - 00:55

It is now the 6 month mark since surgery, and I am still finding things hard. I have been advised of two seizures in the last 6 weeks (not aware of any before then).

  • Do you think that I will be allowed to start reducing my medication which is what I am after. How normal is it to still have seizures.
  • My hair is very brittle, dry and falling out. I was told this may occur around 3 months post surgery due to the anesthetic, is it normal for this still to be occuring. It is driving me nuts having such brittle, dry hair that is always falling out.

Thanks
