Oh, and we moved into a rental home (with no carpet, thank God)!!! if I'm going to be stuck inside, let it have more room than my tiny apartment had! I'll unpack more when this medicine wears off. The edges behind my edges are gone!

Not as simple as I thought ...

My Random Adventures in Random Other Health Issues
💜I posted videos on my RUclips channel like you @derekmarshall6427 In my PLAYLIST ***STEREOELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY*** Of course other people will be like wth does that mean??? Eating & sleeping on my back is the worst besides the boredom💜
My head does hurt but not even close to the amount of pain i was anticipating. Only 1 seizure on the night of day #2.
💜Thank you for the words of encouragement. I just woke up from the procedure may 2 hours ago! Yes my head hurts but when I open my mouth too wide,, OMG then my head feels like it's being squeezed at my temples with pliers. I'm gonna my updates on my RUclips video like you did. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon!😂 💜
Your video helps so much. My gf is the one under going seeg surgery today 9/16/24. Her mom is with her while Im working but watching this helps me get through these rough and confusing times.
So you liked it too! The results of mine concluded where the primary area of seizures were occurring which was a nonsurgical location
😢😮😮I’m scared of my surgery
I want to tell you don’t be scared, but I know it is a scary thing, and your feelings are so valid. This was just me talking through my experiences but honestly, I remember the itching from an allergy I’ve developed to EKG adhesive was more of a nuisance than the scars with each surgery I’ve had. I pray the best for your body and a sense of peace for your mind. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Omg I’m worried for my surgery on the 29th 😢this month of May..
Omg that’s how I feel 😢
❤
I’m going thru my first sEEG surgery in 3 weeks and it’s been 11 years dealing with convulsions,focal seizures coma,anxiety stress depression and I’m scared as hell cuz I wanna be better for my kids 😢
Hi, thank you so much for your videos ! My daughter is going in for an SEEG and I’m trying to understand it more ! I’m wondering if you noticed any effects to your mind after the SEEG ?
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am headed for SEEG at the end of the month and I am grateful to see what I am getting myself into from someone who did it too.
I pray all goes smoothly for you. And I definitely made these videos because I felt the same way. Marketing medical videos were not giving me a raw, honest look into what I was getting myself into.
😢😢😢❤❤❤,megan me duele tu dolor ,mi ❤ y mi oración a Dios estan contigo,que paso con tu cirugía?no funciono,?yo tambien estoy pasando por algo como tu ,tengo RNS pero no esta funcionando, siguen mis convulsiones.
I am happy to hear that you’re improving sis! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
💚💚 continue pushing through Meg!
Long time no see how are you megan you much better
Hi Megan youre looking very well how is your epilepsy
Megan ,bendito Dios que bueno verte otravez ,y saber que estas mucho mejor,te comprendo todo lo que ha pasado y aun estas pasando ,yo también tengo epilepsia de los dos lobulos temporales, me han hecho 3 cirugía y no pudieron hacerme una recesión, porque perdería mi memoria y el habla,lo que pudieron hacer fue implante del RNS system, esperando que me ayude,quisiera saber si ati te lo pusieron y si te ha ayudado, te deceo lo mejor de este mundo,que Dios envíe sanidad sobre ti y te guarde,besos y abrazos ati y tu niña,.mi corazón ❤️ contigo.,disculpa que escriba español.
Meghan saludos ,espero estes muy bien con el favor de DIOS, dime por favor como te va con RNS,yo apenas 1 mes me lo pusieron.
Heyy. I would love to talk to you I'm actually getting this done on Wednesday. I couldn't find you on fb. Please get back to me
Please feel free to DM me on instagram! @MeganFordTough
How are you Meagan? How is life treating you? It is great to see you again. How are the seizures going?
After 14 days in the hospital and nothing showed up on my SEEG, they basically threw in the towel and added another prescription. Its very discouraging.
I was down in the dumps for a while (until my brain got wonky at the last second). SEEG isn't inherently painful, but the surgery and the waiting and the electrodes. Blah. I hate that for you. If they do decide to try again, I hope they find more activity, soon.
Thanks for calming those of us who await our turn. It’s quite terrifying.
How is life treating you after all these stereo eegs? Hope you are not having anymore seizures
You brave lady Megan Ford good luck
God I love you girl so darned brave
That seems really sad considering this seems the beginnings of some awfulness.
It was just a part of my journey .
Hi! I've just found your videos and you are so strong! I am going to have a SEEG around the beginning of September. The videos seem to show what it's really like. I have not received much info but have educated myself through you tube
Thank you. I hope everything goes smoothly for you. Prayers up!
I’m praying for the best. Your language is fine. I’m proud of you and hoping for the best in your healing. I love you Sis!!!!
Thanks sis. Love you.
You seem positive Megan I'm so sorry to see your eye is swollen hope you won't have anymore seizures. Is this the last surgery? God bless
I am not letting them cut on me anymore, and thankfully, a week later, most swelling has gone. Hope for no more seizures. 🙏🏾
@@MeganFordTough that's great news hope it goes well for you my lovely hope you become seizure free
Is that scar from RNS?
No. They took the RNS because it didn't work. Went in an did a reception after. So... her I am.
Oh man that sucks. Im sorry to hear that. I had a rare tumor removed and I was home the next day and walking and talking. Im still having seizures so they're going to put the RNS in me. I hope everything works out well for you. You're an inspiration to my journey as well. Thank you for posting.
@@Julian-cf4pb I am glad they got out the tumor is gone, and I hope that the RNS works for you well. 🙏🏾
You've been a part of so many procedures, and you still stay so positive. Thank you again for having the courage to share with us. I hope you find some resolution on your journey.
Got you covered!
Oh wow, so scary and your so blessed to go through everything to get right. Prayers go up for ya everyday, Epilepsy Soldiers💜hospital stays and effects are a lot as well- yes ma’am its a sweet treat💅🏾to yourself. Get some rest and you’ll feel so much better, as time pass it’s just a process you went through God has you🙏🏾 prayers for your docs too💜
You are such a brave lass Megan got a dog there with you
Do you have these seeg alot of the time Megan? You are very brave
This was my 2nd (and hopefully last).
@@MeganFordTough I feel for you hunni you are very strong yes I hope this is your last seeg. It must be awful having seizures. How are you doing these days?
Once you get control of your seizures Megan you will get to enjoy life with your daughter don't give up
Why are you having the SEEG again? Can't the nursing staff let you sleep Megan?
My autoimmune disease and epilepsy are causing worrisome seizures. They were going to have to replace the Neuropace battery anyway, so we took this time. Everything is good.
@@MeganFordTough you are a very inspirational young woman I hope everything goes well for you. And those punk ass epilepsy are gone
@@theresamaleady7721 thank you!!
@@MeganFordTough you are most welcome my dear I'd like to get to know you
Isn't that neuro pace doing anything for you? Are they going to help you? You shouldn't have to go through seizures at all. You need your life without them. You are such a brave lass
Many prayers for you Megan❤️SEEGs are no fun, but your strong and everything is gonna get better. Be safe and Blessed💜
Stay warm. Your sunny disposition is inspiring. I wish you well during your seeg. You'll come out of this with much more clarity, and a better course of action.
Be strong now you hear?
Good luck you brave young lady let's hope this can stop your seizures love your hair style
What were your side effects when it came to having a resection done?
After 3 years of SEEG>Laser Ablation>Neuropace Implantation... I got worse. The seizures (small but painful, and having 1-5 clinical a day/~3000 non clinical per), pain on the side that I never had before (funny, it started in March when everything shut down for Covid). Anyway, 2 or 3 more hospital stays, and this nor my autoimmune therapy was working, increasingly getting worse. My epileptologists (at UTSW and Mayo Clinic), my neuroummunologist, and neurosurgeon settled here. The resection isn't set in stone. Just the next step if they take another step.
@@MeganFordTough Again thank you sharing your experiences with us. It certainly seems like an arduous process. Im sure your immune system certainly made it worse for you. I wish you well in life and any future procedures you undergo.
Love you you brave lady
Have they given you the results you needed to hear? You are a beautiful person Megan I feel for you and hope they get you under control soon. You don't deserve these seizures at all
Good luck girl
You are looking really well what op did you have? So glad you do look really great
Why didnt you do those exams before implanting the RNS? I thought they were required before surgery.
I did do them. Well MRI and PET scan instead of MRI and MEG scan. I'm assuming MEG and PET are similar. And had all the correct surgeries. And for some reason I got worse. And ran the battery down in 2.5 years, and instead. I explain all that in previous videos. So they did surgery to remove the RNS so they could do a MRI and MEG and see where there's still remnants of the leison on my insular cortex. They did a laser ablation last time. This time they're going to do a SEEG, an open craoniotomy and resection, and POSSIBLY put back the RNS, possibly add another. I got the testing before. This is a different beast, so I got it done again.
Thank you for taking the time to explain your experiences with us. It is very much appreciated. I wish you nothing but the best. Good luck with any future procedures.
@@Julian-cf4pb 2 or 3 more surgeries in the coming months. Thanks for watching. I just searched when I was preparing for the first surgery, and saw maybe 2 people talking about it, and not in depth. I needed details. So here we are. Paying it forward. Thanks for prayers going forward.
Megan ,siento todo lo que esta pasando, yo estoy situación parecida me hicieron SEEG y después me pusieron El RNS,hace 15 días dime si ati te funcionó ,me da mucho dolor de cabeza.bendiciones espero DIOS estés bien.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤ Your hair and your wig both look great! I pray for your healing and for your peace. May God restore everything you feel you have lost. Praying for a loving godly man thats worthy or you and for your daughter to hear the lords will as to what college to go to and a successful academic career for her. Thank you Lord for healing, peace amd and your perfect plan. Strengthen our faith in you when the storm comes.
I can't tell you not to be nervous, because I'm nervous about my Feb 15. SEEG, knowing good and well I have a more extensive surgery to follow... but.... DON'T BE NERVOUS!!! We raised babies and got them into college (acceptance letters are rolling in for my kiddo) and we do it on all of these meds. I will pray for you and your surgery, and that the RNS truly helps you. I wish you all the best! And my wig appreciates the love. :) We got this!!!
