The doctors are not sure, but my seizures may be from a car accident I was in when I was a baby. I hit my head on the dash board of the car (no car seats at that time). I was never taken to the hospital to check it out, so I may have had ep since then, but not diagnosed until I had grand mal seizures.

Hi Jim,
Gosh, familar to hear about car accident and connection to epilepsy. I also had accident 0n 7/4/61. I have been treated
for seizures for 49 years now. I have had the surgery, and it
removed all day seizures, however they occur a couple of times
a month when asleep. I am super glad I did the surgery though,
since I could get my driver license back. It's something to keep
in mind as a possibility for change or improvement.
Food for thought. Good luck.
Doris :-)
