RE: [epilepsy] Re: Author with questions

 

I had several head trauma incidents, and there's no genetic disposition
(that anyone is aware of) for epilepsy. Hmmm. My doc gave me the okay to
lower my Kepra dosage, but only after he does an EEG. He told me epilepsy
usually is either a genetic problem, meaning some portion of the brain is
defective, or the epilepsy is the result of a problem in one specific part
of the brain, which I understood to be possibly connected to my head
traumas.

If anyone has some definitive info, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

In my case its the other way around. I had a seizure that caused me to get a
head injury. My best guess would be a concussion would not cause epilepsy.
There'd have to be major brain damage to have head trauma cause
epilepsy.....something such as a brain tumor, hydrocephalus, microcephaly,
etc. But a simple concussion should not cause epilepsy.
