Had a Gran Mal Seizure While Being Monitored in Hospital

I was hooked up in a padded bed and monitored 24/7 without meds and intentionally stressed to induce a seizure so they'd have proper information to treat

It worked! I had a seizure. The Neurologist said it was a Gran Mal Seizure and lasted only a few minutes, yet I wasn't coherent for almost 45 minutes

She said they now know where in occured in my brain and now know which meds will better work in that area of the brain.

We're now planning extensive cognitive testing and more to determine exactly what THAT part of my brain actually controls. If it's determined to not be vital or important, then surgical removal of that grape sized part of my brain will be removed....

Has anyone experienced this? Success? Failure? Cautions I should look into?
