Something I never heard anyone in my life talk about or have ever read anything on this possibility, but can weight gain increase seizures? Up until high school, I only had 2 or 3 generalized seizures in my life (except for more I don't remember as a newborn), and 1 was caused by a mis-directed dodgeball hitting me square in the head at school in 2nd grade! Then I had 1 in auto shop in high school one morning, and the frequency of generalized increased. The only thing that changed during that time (aside from moving into the city from the farm at that time, and ending up eating canned store food with so many preservatives, etc. in which I'm convined is part of it too), is about 35 or 40 pounds in weight gain. I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. Anyone ever hear of that?
