Mother & Daughter Epilepsy

Was wondering if there was any mothers out there whose daughter, or son for that matter, have mysteriously developed the same type of Epilepsy as yourself.

Natalya, thank you for reply, sorry has been awhile since been online.
Your condition seems very different compared to your mother. Its great that hers have stopped or have been controlled.
I hope you have a very good Neurologist that is looking after you and particularly I hope that you are happy with him - this is very important.
I wish you luck Natalya, keep positive and remember to keep a diary of your condition.

Susan,
My seizures are different from my sisters. I was sick as a child. But they say sometimes, it can also be caused by a deficiency in the family.
take care

Susan, My mom has an epilepsy. The only difference we have is the frequancy. We both have tonic-clonic seizures but when she started to have them at age of 12 she had them every day and sometimes even few times a day. I have them rarely, once or twice a year. Also she always has the warning sign and I never do. Now she didn't have seizures for the last 8 years. After taking so much medicine for all these years she is not taking any now. I hope the same thing will happend to me. Natalya.
