Have you considered surgery as a treatment for your (or your loved one's) epilepsy?
There are 2 types of surgery: resective (removing a very small part of the brain that causes seizures) and disconnective (disconnecting the paths between the nerves in the part of the brain that causes seizures). Have you heard about these two types?
Has your doctor ever talked to your about the possibility of doing the surgery? How do you feel about it?
