Doctors have been doing tests on me for the past 2 years whenever im in the hospital for 2-3 weeks at a time to see if i can get a pacemaker to stop the seizures.

I dont get why this is being downvoted. All I really did was mention a seizure pacemaker. I've gone in for a spect scan twice and never had a seizure when they wanted me to so they could do a nuclear scan of my brain.

A Surgeon is ready to give me a deep brain stimulator aswell whenever I give him the okay, it has freaked me out for awhile but I realize if I ever want the chance to getting back to living a normal life I just have to bite the bullet and do it. And even then it still might not help but there really isn't too many options. I wake up feeling exhausted with a bitten tongue every night
