Hey Melissa, i have had surgery but NOT brain surgery. I had a non invasive treatment called VNS Therapy.

It doesnt work for everybody but i used to have 11 seizures a day and now i have none. let me find some links for you, best wishes rachy x

Hi Gabriella, I do think it’s important that the person you know tells their doctor what happened to them. It could be nothing as one in 20 people can have a one off epileptic seizure and don’t have any more. But it might not be epilepsy. It’s always best to be checked out by the doctor.
