I had epilepsy for 6 years. 5 grand mals a week. The mayo clinic cured me by cuttung out 6 cm of my brain. I laid in observation for 15 days prior to surgery Nd had every amazing neurologist and neurosurgeon in the country working on my case. The president of the American epilepsy society told me there was no way the seizures were caused by my AS.

So many people have no clue about AS and all it's side effects, and different stages.

Hey Rick2015 do you have any advice on keeping seizures at bay? Thanks

I used to have absence seizures and it was so strange, one minute you would be talking to someone then the next you know there is an ambulance man right in front of you and it seems like no time at all but you will have been just paused for a few minutes to a bit longer and when you come out of it you carry on as before and no nothing about it. I don't have them so much anymore but they could come back any time.

I'm glad you have been cured! Congratulations!

When it comes to medical there is still much more unknown than there is known. Saying never for anything in my eyes is just shy of incorrect.
They know very little about the majority of the Spondy disease's, in the beginning they said there is no way many times about the very issues at which we all suffer, and those thing's are now known to exist.
Only time will tell how it turns out for spondy patients, I hope for the sake of all of us you are correct.

Wishing you a well night and better tomorrow!
