Diagnosed with Epilepsy, he was given all of the positive statistics making him feel the seizures would end. He spent the following eight years trying all of the different medications available, but his Epilepsy was not able to be controlled by prescription drugs, and the seizures continued to increase in both number and length.
Since that time, he has been in the operating room ten times. The majority of these surgeries were minor, but others involved removal of part of his left frontal lobe, and twice his left temporal lobe.
Along with the surgeries, Greg has tried all of the medications for temporal lobe Epilepsy, and has had a Vagus Nerve Stimulator implanted. The settings of his Vagus Nerve Stimulator are at the maximum. This has reduced his seizures drastically in number and has not been in Status Epilepticus since.
In this book you will read some of the poems he has written to support others, and give a number of different ways to look at Epilepsy.view less
