Why have seizures suddenly started again after a long period of being seizure free?
Some people may have a long period of remission and then suddenly experience breakthrough seizures. This can be due to a number of reasons. They may occur at a change in life, such as puberty or menopause, or be related to illness, both factors can affect the absorption and metabolism of the medications. They may simply be a result of a great deal of stress – physical, emotional or both. Sometimes there may be no distinct reason. This is a time to revisit the neurologist and review changes in medications.
