No, brain biopsy is not for sure yet. I will get 2005 scan to compare with 12/31/07 to neuro this week. He'll decide and I will get 2nd opinion before I let anyone touch me. But this mess got started because I need cervical surgery soon and when I got MRI's done was having some weird tingling sensations around mouth. I mentioned in passing to neuro and he jumps to conclusion maybe mini-seizures because of past history on Wellbutrin. Now on EMSAM which he knows nothing about and he's thinking it may cause seizures and wants new brain scan. Now I have some weird new lesions which may be of serious nature. By the way I recently learned that severe depression for long periods actually may cause structural changes on frontal lobe as does PTSD.
