Seizure Prone?
« on: March 22, 2012, 02:35:38 pm »
Guys,

I used to be seizure prone before being switched from Dilantin to Keppra in 2005, now that I am considering having Gamma Knife should I worry about the seizures returning?

Does anybody who has had Gamma Knife have seizures? Is it common? I have not had one since 2005! They were terrible when they happened, what goes first is the feeling of control, I am frightened for them to return!
