I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
While many forms of epilepsy require lifelong treatment to control the seizures, for some people the seizures eventually go away. The odds of becoming seizure-free are not as good for adults or for children with severe epilepsy syndromes, but it is possible that seizures may decrease or even stop over time.

My brother of 13 yr. He was born in 7th month he used to get seizures since he was small but for 7 years he didn't even get a seizure some weeks before he was sitting and suddenly he wasn't able to swallow anything and had lost coordination of body he was not able to move his hands and leg and also he was deviating his tongue towards the upper left side of his teeth. He had made his jaw towards the left side and was drooling and he closed his left wrist and was having a stutter speech this lasted for 2 3 mins. After that day in the morning as after half hour or one hour he wakes up he makes his jaw towards the left and makes grinding noise of his teeth and also he has stuttering speech in the morning. This happens for 3 4 hrs after waking up then he becomes normal but his jaw slightly remains towards the left side not like morning but yes it goes to the left side slightly and also after that episode he always closes his left hand's wrist in the morning for 3 to 4 hr. Please suggest what to do.

The type of seizure depends on which part and how much of the brain is affected. The two main categories of epileptic seizures that exist are partial and generalized. Multiple types of seizures are in each category.

You can work and carry out your job but avoid undue fatigue and heve normal sleep hours.
Seizure recurrence depends upon the type and underlying disease you have,...more

Dear User, the seizures will stop as long a you take the medication. Once you stop it or abruptly stop it, the seizures can come back and might even be worse than before. Hence it is advisable to continue the medication as your Doctor prescribed. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a Positive feedback as it helps me with my Practice. Thank you.

Considering your diagnosis, the medicine prescribed is okay. But a detailed history and relevant past records are necessary and follow up with a doctor is required.

If the leg movement doesnot affect quality of sleep, better leave it alone. Need to know more about seizure to give an opinion.

He should be immediately admitted and the reason for the seizure should be identified. It can be due to post op complication and should be treated as early as possible. I would suggest you to get him immediately admitted and tested for various causes for seizure disorder. In case of a seizure keep him away from pointy and sharp objects and turn him over to the side so he does not choke on his saliva.

Hello lybrate-user,
tuberculoma of the brain regresses with treatmemt. But to decide if she needs to continue the antiseizure medicines, you need to get a fresh mri brain with contrast. We need to see the current condition and then decide about the medicine. Please feel free to contact for further queries.
