hey mark,
I know that your question pertains to humans but I wanted to tell you about our cat and what happened to her.
She was fine for 2yrs and then all of a sudden she started siezing. I thought she had gotten into something. She siezed any whare from 2 to 3 siezures a day and I don't know how many at night.I tried to get to her and hold her still in one spot as she would start by running real fast and smashing herself into a wall or something if there was anything by her. Then she would flop on the ground and sieze just like we do and she must have also bit her tounge because the foam was tinged with blood. Well, I called the vet and she said to call back if she is still doing it in 4 days...my heart broke everytime she had one...In 3 days we had to take our dogs to the vet for their rabies shots. So I told her the cat wasn't getting better infact the seizures were getting worse and is there anything that she could give us...She said well with outseeing her she doesn't know what to give her...she gives phenobarb to the dogs but it is very unlikely that she just now
started to have seizures. She hesatated And finally gave us a antibiotic to give her and said the onlything she could think of why the cat started having siezures is because there is a virus that will go to the brain instead of emptying out in her waste.You give her these and if they don't stop then bring her in. Well after a week of those pills she stopped having siezures! Can you beat that? Shoot I wouldn't have. To this day she is as good as she was before all this happened to her.
So maybe that is how a virus can cause siezures in a human too....just a thought and guess.

Jewl,
I don't see how someone could develop epilepsy after catching a virus. What exactly happened in order for that to occur?
Mark
