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!

My Grandson was diagnosed with "sit down seizures"..small ones, can't think of the name. He had 3 of them 3mos apart...he had one today 6mos since the last one. He is not on medication. Is this a good sign that he will outgrow them?? I know very little about epilepsy. No one on either side of the families have had this...anyone out there who can give us some advise?? Elizabeth
