I have complex partial epilepsy so there are no convulsions during my seizures. I have many sensations like deja-vu, deja-vecu (feels like I've lived through this before), auras and many memory and time distortions. The neurologists are unable to see why I have seizures and the seizures begin on both the left and right sides of the brain. My seizures were controlled up until about eleven years ago at which time I often lost consciousness as well as having all the other sensations. I have been diagnosed with ptsd and have been seeing a psychiatrist because I think that my epileptic seizures are connected to the sexual abuse I suffered from two step-fathers from age 4 to 18. I also moved and changed schools every year. My seizures worsened eleven years ago when my life seemed to be at its best and now I notice that when I am highly stressed there are few seizures but when I am relaxed the number and severity of seizures greatly increases. Listening to music is often a serious problem which has made it difficult to see my daughter's cpncerts. I have been unable to work for ten years and the neurologists see my only chance of recovery is to have a hippocampectomy (removal of the right hippocampus). Anybody have any thoughts on this?

I have pain in my brain, consistanly in the back of my head. I also feel like my brain is "full", and "hot".
