Hello,
“How can a doctor make the determination my cause is genetic if all he has is an MRI?
I agree with you. I think it’s nothing more than a guess and I’m not convinced it’s even an educated guess. One of my neurologist said my seizures were A result of my birth yet when I asked him to be more specific he clammed up and changed the subject. Like you I believe my seizures were caused from a head injury. A friend, so I thought, hit me in the head with a baseball bat when I was a kid. Also they believe I had a mild stroke when I was young and see if she was a curve occasionally after a stroke. Some neurologist even say if you’re going to have more seizures. The doctors at Stanford University told my parents I would have seizures the rest of my life, well surprise they were wrong. For whatever reason they stopped about nine years ago with the exception of some when I forgot my medicine and I did have and absence while driving. There are DNA tests that they can do and over 100 genes have been identified so far

Are you still talking your medicine? Which one? What about side effects?
