Not really: your mother is an epileptic. an epileptic is just someone who is more prone to seizures than the rest of the population. we treat them with medication to prevent injury. In my 20 years, I have had many people prone to seizure seriously injured because they were improperly treated. I have had people dies needlessly, and even kill others while driving. Please be carefull.
