Has anyone seen a sudden onset of seizures in an adult?

Posted by 1990mom @1990mom, Jan 13 6:24am

My son is 34 years old. He had never experienced a seizure or had any family history of seizures until a week ago. We are looking for a cause but only seem to get treatment for symptoms at ER when have an occurrence...can't get appointment with neuro until January 24th in Colorado and can't get an EEG until the 30th....does anyone have experience getting into Mayos quickly and getting answers quicker?!
Thanks!

Thanks for all the info and input!! My son had his Dr gradually stop the meds and had another seizure 6 days after last dose....back in it again but having headaches with meds...Dr believes those will eventually stop...fingers crossed!

Did he decide to try to go to Mayo or no?

Not yet...he is thinking he wants to see if headaches go away with current med...I doubt he goes...too many family issues

Yes mine started at about 18 but just petit mal. I had my first massive grand mal at 21. First off is he drinking alcohol because that was the biggest trigger of mine
