epilepsy and studdering?
Mon, 08/09/2004 - 02:38I have an 11 year old boy who was just recently diagnosed with epilepsy...cant remember the name of it, he doesnt have siezures only activity on the mri...anyway he has recently started to studder badly he also has "tics" that come and go. Does anyone else have anything like this? I am just curious to know if they are related in anyway. The doctor didnt seem to know. Thank you for any feed back.

Wow! i can not even begin to tell you all how much reading your comments has helped me. I am 22yrs old and had my first grand mall 2 months ago. I have had coplex partial seizures for ten years. I have for also struggled with studdering for a long time, it is getting worse over time and on days that the studdering is severe, i end up having a grand mal. What is the connection between studdering an seizures? I have also noticed lately, that when I am having trouble with my speach, my "arm jerking" worsens. I would love any feedback about this. Thanks, Jaden
