More than one member in the family?
Sat, 11/27/2004 - 05:53Long story, and I'm finding resources about heredity and epilepsy, but.....I'm receiving some preliminary information that my situation of seizures starting at 37 (fairly controlled) and the recent one my daughter has just had, she is 7, are different, and coincidental. I'd really like to do some in depth research. She has not been diagnoised with epilepsy given only one, but an abnormal eeg is putting us on edge. Any resources? Thank you.
