I Have Lived With Epilepsy Since I Was Diagnosed At

I have lived with epilepsy since I was diagnosed at age six. Age four I had a febrile seizure and at age six, had absent petit mal. By 5th grade, I grew out of absent and by 6th grade had simple partials. I've been recently in the last 5 months been diagnosed with a 6.7 mm cavernous angioma in my right parietal lobe which they said was a very small chance of causing my epilepsy. However, despite my phenobarbital control much of it, I have been having noticing my coordination, train of thoughts, and memory declining. I can't say the simplest word in a sentence without forgetting what it was. I also keep banging into things that are right in front of me that I DO see, but I'm scared whether or not this has to do with my medicine or if there's a different cause. Again, they think the angioma isn't the cause of this. No one else in my family has seizures or epilepsy. Can you help me?
