aging
Sat, 10/26/2013 - 18:02I have had seizures since my late teens. They only occured once or twice a year and were always tonic/clonic. I am now 65 and for the last 2 years I have been having partials plus nocturnals quite often. They have been weekly or more. My neuologist is unsure if aging is a key factor in the changes I am having. Are any of you experiencing aging related changes? Do any of you have info on aging/epilepsy. The articles I find here don't give much info. Thanks

I think it’s possible that as we age our metabolism changes. Could it be that your levels have changed? Would an increase or decrease be in order?
