There is no single cause. Epilepsy is a name for a broad category of causes of seizures or fits or convulsions. What causes seizures differs for different people. Some things that causes a seizure for one person may have no effect on another. Common causes can be tiredness, stress, a brain injury, flashing lights, hunger, alcohol and many other things.

In the second time with the pig's head, it quotes, "He knew one of his times was coming on". There are many little hints like this throughout the book.

Generally if it is a grand mal seizure (now known as tonic-clonic) where the person has fallen and is in convulsions, you do let the person "seize." By that is meant letting the seizure run its course. Do not try to restrain the person. Make sure the person will not strike or knock anything over that is nearby and never try to place anything in the person's mouth.

Yes it is. It would be more polite to say something to the effect of "he/she suffers from epilepsy".

Epilepsy can affect people in different ways. Someone may have a momentary loss of consciousness and faint, but not necessarily have a full seizure. They can even have a momentary loss of conciousness and not faint. A simple way of describing this to someone who has never experienced it is to say it is like briefly daydreaming and then being alert again. This can happen without anyone else around the person even noticing.

yes they have epileptic seziers due to too much sex

Epilepsy is not a motor neuron disease. It is not even considered a disease, but a condition. Epilepsy has various forms and has all sorts of causes. Everyone who has Epilepsy is different.

Each individual is different. There is no straight answer to that question. A lot more details and expertise are needed. Even then it is difficult to make an exact prognosis. There are many factors.

Depending on the particular drug used, the dose and how it is administered it can potentially cause seizures, but it is very rare. Epilepsy is only when a person has recurring seizures. Anyone can have a seizure in their lifetime. So even if someone got one after an epidural, it might only have once and so they would no be considered to have epilepsy.

Your eyes can roll to the back of your head when you have a seizure - it is not the epilepsy medications that do this.

Like human epilepsy, canine epilepsy is not fatal. People can die from getting a seizure, although this is extremely rare. A dog can too, but again it is rare. A lot of people die not because of the seizure itself, but because of the circumstance is which they have it. If someone was doing something dangerous, and had a seizure, they could die from something after that, like if they were climbing a ladder and fell. The same kind of thing could happen to a dog. Most people people and dogs with epilepsy will lead normal lives and live as long as anyone else and will die of some other cause. So while they could die as a result of epilepsy, epilepsy in dogs is not fatal.

There are two types which are convulsive and nonconvulsive.

If you have that problem, the best thing to do is turn in your CDL. As soon as its found out, it'll be taken from you anyhow. You can't safely operate a CMV if you're prone to epileptic fits. What happens if you have one while you go down Donner Pass? Trying to hide it and continue driving is only going to lead to you getting yourself and/or others killed.

Drink alcohol, don't take the medication on time , use drugs, etc

Lack of blood can indeed cause seizures.

Petit mal seizures are not restricted to children Seizures also known as convulsions occur more often in children than in adults because the developing brain of a child is more sensitive to disturbances than the fully grown brain of an adult


Petit mal seizures are usually brief and consist of vacant staring and loss of muscle tone, or, conversely, there may be muscle rigidity. Objects held in the hands may be dropped. Often, there is a brief blackout of memory. But rare in these milder seizures are such things as loss of continence, usually associated with the convulsive grand mal seizures, or with uncontrolled wild behavior, as in psychomotor seizures.

Epilepsy is contagious

If you are meaning from a specific list of things that you had, that can only be answered if the list is given. In general terms there are lots of misconceptions about epilepsy. There are lots of stereotypes about epilepsy. Things like saying that flashing lights cause epilepsy. They can do, but that is for a very small amount of people. Only 3% to 5% of people who have epilepsy can have their seizures triggered by flashing lights. So for most people that have epilepsy flashing lights will not cause them to have seizures.

Another misconceptions is that people always fall down when they have a seizure or that they always start shaking. This happens for some seizures, but not for all. Some seizures are so mild that nobody other than the person that is having the seizure would even know that they are having one. It can be just a very sensation of feeling a little strange or a bit like day dreaming that nobody else would notice.

Many people think that epilepsy is a mental illness, when it is in fact a physical illness. So people with epilepsy have normal levels of intelligence. Many people with epilepsy have high levels of education and good jobs, just like people without epilepsy.

Many people think you can "catch" epilepsy like you can a cold. Epilepsy is not contagious. It is not an infection. You cannot catch it from another person and you cannot be vaccinated against it. Epilepsy has many causes.

Many people think epilepsy is fatal. It is very rare that someone will die from having a seizure. Most people with epilepsy will live long lives and when they do die, it is not from epilepsy. People could die if they were driving and had a seizure and crashed, or if they were climbing a ladder or a mountain and had a seizure and fell. In those cases, it would not have been the seizure that actually killed them, just the crash or fall.

So as you can see there are lots of things that people accept as being facts when it comes to epilepsy, but which are not completely true. For many of them there is truth in only a very small amount of cases and for most it is not a the case.

That is not as simple a question to answer as it may seem. Epilepsy is a broad name for the condition where people have seizures. It is not a specific illness. There are a wide variety of causes, types of seizures, triggers for seizures happening and levels of severity. Each case has to be taken individually. Drugs that work well for one person may have no effect on someone else. Often people need to take a combination of drugs, and the combinations people take will be different too. There are a wide range of drugs out there and they all have their capabilities and uses. There are many of them that get used, but it is down to a case by case basis, so there is no simple answer to your question. Have a look at the site below at some that are used.

In the United States, federal law does not explicitly prohibit individuals with epilepsy from purchasing firearms, including handguns. However, specific state laws may vary, and some states may impose restrictions based on mental or medical health conditions. Additionally, if epilepsy affects a person's ability to safely handle a firearm, it may be advisable to seek medical guidance before considering a purchase. Always check local laws and regulations for the most accurate information.
