Another about Seizures

Ok, for those who said they have seizures, which I was surprised at the amount, how many of you have had head trauma that is a factor in your seizures? I had a subdural hematoma when I was 3 months old and have a ton of scar tissue. In fact, it always freaks out the person cutting my hair. Also, my right pupil stays dialated. That is also the side that I have clusters on, and is also the side that has a "Short circuit" in the EEG tests.

You're right that there seem to be a surprising number of epileptics. In my case, even though my father developed seizures during WWII, I think mine is not inherited. My CH developed in 1969 when I was 23. It disappeared in 1991, and other than the very stressful period at the time, I have no idea why I was so lucky.
Makes one wonder about the unusual number of us though. There are some vascular componets with some seizures, I think...Strange though as I had no head trauma.

It is possible. I can't really remember anything at all before age 5, and I don't communicate with anyone who could tell me. I was in the hospital as a baby (18 months old) for trauma, but it was all over the body, possibly the head as well (my memories are distant). I only know about that from seeing pictures of it when I was about 18.
Makes me wonder now about any connection.
