52 year old married mom of 2 in CT.
Dx with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy 9/24/2012 after years of complex partial seizures that went unnoticed by other doctors. Love my Neurologist!!!
I hear you on the mental health thing. I had a very abusive father who routinely beat me senseless...and when I hit my 30's I began to suffer from massive recalls, depression, anxiety, PTSD. Years of therapy and medication did nothing, and last year I ended up having 16 sessions of ECT (electro-convulsive therapy). It wiped out huge chunks of my memory, and the depression seemed to vanish, but now it seems that my deformed frontal lobes may have had something to do with this whole nightmare. I am so blessed that my beloved husband of 31 years and my two adult sons stood by my side through all of this,
I hope to learn as much as I can...but I must get this pain reigned in first!View Thread
