A member asked:
Why out of my whole entire family i'm the one who has epilepsy/seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You're special: Many things can cause seizures. One bump on the head too many can do it. Some families have an inherited tendency to develop Epilepsy. This might not be the case with your's. It is reasonable to ask your doctor why they think you have developed seizures. I'm sure they will give you a good answer.
