ive got an epilepsy surgery 5 years ago. and i have been without any seizures since that, and is 100 % off with the medicine. - from 15 seizures each day and 17 pills to none :)

Science FTW!!!!!!!

Wow, I had epilepsy as a kid but grew out of it, I didn't know they did things as radical as removing half the brain. Sheesh I think I'd rather get a warning dog and a helmet rather than do something like that. As for that.....ugh doctor at 2:45 I would never take any meds from her LOL.

all these other comments are rood. I personally found this vary informational. my only issue is these dam docs keep changing their terms on what a seizure is called. Leave it on what you call it which one is GRAND or PEtTIT MALL SEIZURE. but you have to change the term yet still the same meaning. just do your job instead of word change!
