Hi fell down stairs a year and a half ago and felt ok however 4 days later I had a seizure whilst driving. Long story short I had a brain haemorrhage and emergency burr hole surgery. I take anticonvulsants for seizure activity and neuropathic pain however I still have chronic head pain at times and confusion is this common after this length of time?

In 1985 I was attacked and seriously injured. My meninges were ripped and I had to have a craniotomy. I was in hospital for over 11 weeks. After a few days I was also driving when I had the first seizure. That was a kick in the back end. This was just the beginning. It went on for 15years before it was controlled after the worst seizure ever. Awful. Even now I still get night time seizures. Since 1985 , I've had 2 more haemorrhages and top all of that now have heart disease. I'm ready for the Knackers yard. Anyway, Good luck and take care. Dave.
