Can I be cured of Epilepsy?
Thu, 03/25/2010 - 17:38I have had Epilepsy my whole life, I am 29 and just now getting treated for it. My grandmother had it too and was still on meds until she died in her 90s. My doctor says its possible to become seizure free first with the meds and then ween off of them and be cured. My grandma was never cured obviously. And my doctor hasn't yet been able to stop my seizures (but that can take years and we've only tried for months) I still have them everyday, the worst ones several times a week. Just a few days ago I had 17 and on and on it was a two day marathon which prompted my doctor to throw in Keppra, he wants to go aggressive now with treatment he said because my seizures are getting so invasive. My brain doesn't function well (if at all) which effects my marriage and my being the best mom I can be. Anyone else feel it hurts their love life? I would love to be cured of course but is it possible? Are any of you guys seizure free? Can you tell me how long it took, what you did, how it changed your life? What are the hardest to treat seizures?
I have absence seizures with secondary generalization

Hi people! I'm Daryl Amlog from the Philippines.. I just want to tell you that I also suffered from seizures since my 4 years of age. but.. at the age of 11 or 12, It just stopped. I take up medicine such as Tegretol and consume it almost 3 times a day.. we often go to Philippine General hospital in Manila for my check up. I don't know if it will come back sooner or later... but as for this very moment, I'm just inspired to motivate y'all brothers and sisters who are suffering. I'm 20 years old now and I believe my seizure won't ever come back again in Jesus' name!I just suggest to all the people who are suffering from this kind of disease to consult your physician regularly, don't stress yourself, remove all the negativities in your life, pray and always trust that Jesus' name can perform miracles to us! God bless us all! be always happy for there are so many reasons to be and I just want you to know that I love y'all! ^_^
