Seizures

I am 57 with MS. I am mobile but still have some issues such as falling and dizziness. 2 weeks ago I had 3 seizures in 2 days. Have never had 1. Went to neuro and after tests declared my ms has caused epilepsy. Do you spend time alone? I find myself being afraid to be alone.

I didn't know that MS would cause seizures. Will you have to start taking anti seizure medications? I was wondering if you use a cane or walker to help with the dizziness and falling. I don't mine being alone and sometimes need to be alone with my thoughts. Please be careful! HUGS!

Thanks for the info. Looks like I have alot of research to do! Right now my neurologist has me on Keppra, haven't had additional seizures.

Unfortunately, too many conditions that we do not think can, do have a possibility of causing Epilepsy and in some cases likewise. Many developmental disorders, for example, can cause epilepsy. There are others, but all of these are much less common, so will not be listed if your were to search for causes of Epilepsy.

Having Epilepsy increases our chances of having a Stroke or getting Dementia are just 2 that come to mind.

It just requires monitoring by the neurologist. Any meds cause bad side effects but it’s much better than having seizures. I am alone often as my husband likes to go hunting. He’s very outdoorsy.
