When these seizures kicked in, my gums, especially the gums surrounding my lower front teeth began to dissolve on me and recede very badly. Could strep be involved?
I also have severe OCD, and I've been reading that a high strep antibody might be the cause of OCD, crossing the blood-brain barrier and confusing the brain by acting on brain enzymes.
Could a high strep antibody also be triggering my seizures?

I wish I had my old computer...I would post pictures of my receding gums.
On top of the gum issues...
...I suffered one sinus infection after another.
...I developed a vocal chord polyp on the left side.
...I burst my left eardrum. (Blood was found in my left ear.)
...I have a very prominent 'network' of blood vessels covering only the left side of my chest (it looks like a road map of very prominent veins), but when I show doctors my 'veiny' chest, they don't seem very concerned, and strep can damage the heart.
...My rheumatoid factor is high and has been for years.
