Seizures, the strength, as to where they are taking place in the brain will most likely result with a loss of balance. This is one thing in which your doctor will need to know. It can be related. Just from my experience I will say it is related and at times only temporary. Keep this noted down on what you were doing when it took place. While biking, walking, or running and like my main issue while going down or up stairs.

Good to know you have had double testing on EEGs, MRI, as to CT scan. Hope they have brought a more understanding in what has been going on.

Do to you having a lump removed from your neck resulting with numbness a couple of days later is a sign of nerve damage. Are you still experiencing the numbness? At times during surgery, especially when it is very close to a nerve the nerve may need to be moved. Remember nerves are very sensitive and can take up to a year to heal completely. With resulting having a seizure following the procedure on the neck makes it sound it was fairly close to the brain. In addition to the balance matter your spinal cord can be sending different signals to your brain resulting in losing balance too. Do you lose balance more to your right or left?

You have surely accomplished much following the control of your seizures. Congratulations on placing fifth in the triathlon. Way to go. Being able to work is another positive sign for you.

Your memory issue may be with you for a while. Be patient and continue what you are doing. You are going in the right direction. 😊

My seizures are a bit more complex. When they take place my awareness is still here but I get worn out completely from the strength of it. What’s unfortunate on my seizures is the longer I don’t have any the stronger the next one will be. You already know about the memory loss. but that issue can be coming from many angles. I have had plenty of MRIs, EEGs, an CT scans. I also had bio feedback done. I just had my third Vagal Nerve Stimulator placed inside and it was just activated. The first two were on my left side of the neck and now my third is in the right side of the neck. Unfortunately my left side is permanently damaged now and the numbness is permanent. I am currently going through the phases of losing memory. The issue is it is worsening every day. Just yesterday I had to do some math on paper and forgot completely how to multiply. That really freaked me out telling me my right side of the brain is being affected now. During my first VNS I couldn’t even tell who my family was. Had to be told how many and who my siblings are. Along with who is my wife. Such an experience I wish I never had to go through. I keep reminding myself it wasn’t me but rather the brain from all it has been going through at that time.

Before I had all the VNS done I had a Temporal Lobectomy and later the seizures came back. They told us the seizures can be taking place deeper in the brain. I am currently limited on driving and just have to go with the flow and deal with this. I have been through many battles before. Now a new one has begun and I know I will get through it. I pretty much know what to expect and am ready and standing by.

Hope I didn’t bored you on my part. 😁. We all have our own battles to go through. If we were never able to conquer them they would never of come our way. 👍🏻

There are many different brain-training games which are suitable for all kinds of people. The one I use is free Lumosity. Be prepared to feel disappointed at first when you start to learn how to use the games. “Names and Faces” seemed impossible until I gradually worked out my own strategy for playing it and now I realise by opening a new path in my brain and concentrating for a short time regularly without distractions, I can sometimes get high scores. Have a break when you feel tired and come back to it later when you feel calm. Don’t give up!
