Confused Can epilepsy return or is it plain stress?


Hello everyone,
At the age of 9 going on 10 years I was involved in a car accident and had injury to the head.

After this I developed epilepsy.

Around my teenager stage my aunt (a nurse) visited my family and she said to me, you are taking too much medication. Stop them and you will get over your epilepsy.

This I did and I have not had a seizure since.

Fast forward. I am now 45 years old and having some strange experiences. For example, today I took my son (who has a number of illnesses) to have an ultrasound to check his nodes in order to find out if he was no longer in remission.

Incidents that occurred today: (To cut to the chase)

1. Entered pharmacy knew what I wanted, walk about in pharmacy and could not remember what I came to purchase in a matter of minutes. Bought a few items then on reaching home remember all the items I really needed.

2. Met an old friend and in talking to her forgot things that should have been easy to remember and ended up staring at her not speaking (this has been happening a lot lately). This is quite embarrassing and the person I am speaking to usually gets a weird look in their eyes and on their faces .

Night time

Sometimes at night my whole body jumps during sleep.

Lol I cannot remember the other things I wanted to write.

Anyhow, can epilepsy return or is it plain stress?
