Former epileptic, I've had dozens of MRs and CTs. It's rote for me to see and I never had a visceral reaction and in fact I find it pretty fascinating. The one that I do have that's a standout and quite shocking is my first post-lobeectomy MRI. There's a very noticeable void where my right temporal lobe (+amygdala, cerebellum and hippocampus) were resected. Great conversation starter.

Good to hear you're no longer suffering from epilepsy!

Have you noticed any other changes due to your lobectomy? (Isn't the amygdala responsible for fear, among other things?)
