Since my last seizure, I find my attention span is much shorter, especially when reading. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks, Kathryn13.
I had serzuire since I was 2 yrs old and I am 31 yrs old and my son is 10 yrs old just wondering if he would have them or if would get them from me
I was wrong in my original comment, you can pass epilepsy through genetics. Although just because you have epilepsy doesn’t necessarily mean that it was passed on through genetics

I feel like I’m falling apart! My skin, hair and muscle tone are changing and my energy levels are too.
