Grow out of seizures???
Sun, 05/21/2006 - 21:52Topic: Parents & Caregivers
Hey, have you other parents out there heard that your child could grow out of their seizure disorder? My Zakry has idiopathic epi, so does that mean that he should be able to grow out of it? We are running one more metabolic test, but that's just to be safe (we thought he had MSUD). Has anyone else heard this? Has anyone else had an experience where someone "grew out of it?" Just looking for the positive!

I'm pretty sure I had 2 violent siezures around age 4, both middle of the night with family dead asleep, never again though... I have never understood it.

I grew out of epilepsy. I don't know which kind I had. Some kind of childhood epilepsy, I think. I have been seizure-free without medication since I was 10 nearly 11, and I'm now 35. I don't know anything about your son's case, but it is possible to grow out of it.

When I was age 3, I believe it was, I had a horrible seizure that I cannot remember, but my sister told me that i had sat up and was almost blue and gurgling in bed, she tried to give me a drink of water because she was little and she was scared and didn't know what to do, my parents had left her alone with me. Nobody knows what happened after that, she never admitted it because she felt so terrible, but obviously I'm fine. A few months later I have a horrible seizure where I stop breathing and my 10 year old brother has to call 911...the seizure was 30minutes+ before i came to, but I was still sleeping. The thing was, that I only had seizures when I was coming out of a sleep or going into. I had like 7 seizures in 2 years, 1 brought on by spinning rides at an amusement park. Point is, when I was 5, i stopped having them except a few little nervous jolts when I got a little older, say 11. I never took any medications, because the doctors said my seizures might have been stress and sleep related. I don't know what they diagnosed me, but stay strong, everything will be fine. (:
