Hi..57yo F married with no kids. I had a tbi in 1981 and wound up with seizure disorder. So bad that im 1988 had right temporal lobectomy. Seizures just about gone. In 2022 I started having episodes of altered mental status. Id "check out" any where from 2-12 days. Come out of them in our local hospital. MRI and CT scan show only post operative changes and have had numerous EEGs results have shown some "cortical irritability" and general encephalopathy. EEG shows new activity in the right frontal lobe but my previous brain surgery is in the right temporal lobe. I am now unable to drive or work because i never know when ill be in a comatose like state a LP showed increased protein and some CSF inflammation. I am so depressed over the whole thing. Any ideas would be very appreciated
