?Cysticercosis: Doubtful that there will be any future issues if you have been well for 14 yrs. However, your problem is associated with epileptic seizures in many pts, and would be of value to have an updated eeg at some point, but unless you ever experience a seizure, would avoid meds until that point. Statistically, you should do fine.
