Yes. I agree with Randy we do inherit it through genetics. That's where my neurologist is thinking mines from as I have an aunt who had the grand maul and a cousin who has light ones.

My Dad had petit mal when young and my nephews have it so who knows maybe it is and it's luck of the draw .Keep searching for answers

It can be hereditary as I have inherited it from my fathers family line. We always have one or two in the family with it every generation. In our family the boys carry it and the girls have it

I've read there are a number of causes. Mine is from a car accident, a friends is from a stroke.

It hapens in some cases but not all
some are case by accideets
GOD go with you all
