Does anyone with epilepsy also have that absolutely dreaded feeling epilepsy being hereditary?
For a LONG time I've never realise it is, only when someone mentioned it did I look it up and did I realise it is. There's no one in my family that has ever had epilepsy, and the fact that I am/was breaks my heart, finding out I may be passing down such a horrible illness scares the hell out of me.
He's only 3 years old, and I did once notice him acting strange, hard to explain but a twitch, almost like a little electric shock that did scare me.
I've never noticed any such behavior before/since, but who knows if he has had such an episode whilst playing on his own, or asleep etc...
I spoke to my Neurologist, he said there was nothing they can do at this stage to test for it. Time will tell I suppose. Does anyone else have that feeling I have as my son grows?
