Q: what to do if i've had a seizure, will i be prone forever?

Seizure &amp; Epilepsy: One seizure does not mean you will have more. The test results of EEG and MRI, you family history and the cause of the seizure will help you predict this. If you have a normal EEG and MRI, no family history, and no apparent cause, the chance of another seizure is less than 50%.
