Epilepsy Hereditary?
Hello everyone. I am pregnant with my first child, which is a little girl. What worries me though, is that both her father and I have epilepsy. What are the chances of her developing epilepsy in childhood, like both of us did? Thanks for any help!
Riah,
Congrats on your child.
Im no expert but have Epilespy. A few points...
I was told by Dr. giving birth may cure my epilespy. Im not cured in full. But attacks are very much under control. Is it due to becoming a Mum? Who knows...but 2 factors that contribute greatly for me are (1) Tegretol Slow Release & (2) Aloe Vera. The pure natural Aloe sold only by distributors. Great for health generally - especially energy.
Good luck

It can be genetic. If you are worried the best thing you can do is let your doctor know that you are worried about it. We are just people on this forum, not doctors. Please come back and update us on what you find out.
