My gran used to have seizures but they were to do with kidneys.
I am wondering if I have got her genes ( properly not) Just wondering that's all. Thank you for reading this.x

@Op: You need to have your doctor investigate that possibility.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member:. I heard that left temporal lobe is hereditary. You can confirm that with your neurologist's office.

It's possible but not completely likely cause i was the only one in my extended family history that had epilepsy until my brother got it from eating a peice of fish but his epilepsy is not near the condition mine is permanent epilepsy but i don't believe you would be likely to inherit the epilepsy honestly.
