A member asked:

I haven't suffered from an epileptic fit in nearly 9 and a half years. does this mean i've been cured of epilepsy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Some people with epilepsy may have no symptoms for years. It is hard to say if they are cured or not. If you are still taking medicine, you could not say you are cured. If your EEG is abnormal, you could not say you are cured. Even if you have a normal EEG and do not take medicine to prevent seizures, there is still a chance of recurrence. But the chance is much less in this case, typically.
