Hi Crwstar,
I do know that a tumor, head injury and aneurysm can cause seizures for people. You also mentioned that you have family that had sz. so it could be genetic. My advice to you is to go to a Epilepsy Center that are usually at University Hospitals and see an Epileptologist, Neurosurgeon, and neuropsychologist. These Drs. work together as a team and can tell what is causing the sz., and do surgery if needed. I had 2 brain surgeries done to help reduce my sz. from 300 sz. a yr. to an average of 106 sz. a yr. If you haven't started yet get a calendar and write down what time you have a sz. along with discription of the sz. Also make a note if you are sick or if there's a low pressure with the weather because sometimes these things can trigger sz. just like bright lights can sometimes trigger sz. for some people. Stay away from anything with nutra sweet in it because nutra sweet causes more electrical activity in the brain which can trigger sz. I found that out the hard way when I used to drink diet soda all the time. It caused me to have many more sz. You also might want to try cutting back on the carbs and proteins and start eating food high in fat. this is known as the ketogenic diet and it stops sz. for many people. I've been on this diet for a few yrs. now and it's worked great. Also try taking vitamin B12 once a day it calms the nervous system down. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
