Hi my name is Gina, I am 16 years old in 10 grade and has had epilepsy since I was 8 mounths old. The main cause Of epilepsy is Something in the brain like a tumor that causes seizures. They are mostly all sorts of differernt kinds of seizures that react alike. for example you know when the power goes out thats how it is in the brain or when you are talking on your cell phone and in certain areas you don't get service. You can talk to me when ever you want. take care. from Gina
