Re: [epilepsy] Is decline common?

 

You're right Uggie.  Over time, seizures can and do cause damage.  Usually, the affected area is able to transfer control to another area of the brain.  For example, 20+ years of left temporal lobe seizures cause sclerosis (scar tissue) in my left temporal lobe.  Gradually, my speech, language, and memory transferred to my right temporal lobe.

I disagree with what others are saying. My 17 yr old daughter has problems
associated with Epilepsy - NOT her Meds. She has increased memory loss,
loss of fine motor skills, muscle tone and coordination. All these are a
result of seizures in her left temporal lobe - which is where all her damage
is IT is takin over the area that controls these items. Understand what I
mean??

Is it common to see a decline in abilities from seizures? My son is
diagnosed since September, and we have seen a decline in his ability both
with gross and fine motor coordination as well as a decrease in his overall
endurance.

Thanks.
Jennifer
