Understanding Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a relatively common disorder which takes the form of recurring seizures. A seizure occurs when there is a sudden, uncontrolled, surge in the normal electrical activity in all or part of the brain. Epilepsy can affect anyone at any age but most people with epilepsy will experience their first seizure before the age of twenty.

The ‘temporary breakdown’ that causes a seizure can happen to anybody; it’s simply a matter of getting the necessary activator or stimulus to start it off. With the stimulus of an electric current, for example, everyone would have a seizure. Some people, however, require comparatively less of a stimulus than others, to trigger off a seizure. The likelihood of someone having an epileptic seizure is described as the ‘epileptic threshold’. People with epilepsy have a low epileptic threshold – which means they may have a seizure if the working of the b rain is only slightly upset. Others are able to withstand quite a strong stimulus to the brain without having a seizure; these people have a high threshold.

Thus having epilepsy can, in some ways, be compared to having an allergy. Some people clearly have a low allergy threshold – and only a slight amount of pollen in the air will make their eyes sore and make them start sneezing. With others, no amount of pollen seems to have any effect. The epileptic threshold.

The sorts of stimulus that triggers off seizures in different people, can vary enormously. In young children aged six months to three years, a high temperature can cause a seizure, known as a febrile convulsion. In women, for example, hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle, may lead to chemical changes which may, in turn, lead to chemical changes in the brain. In some people, these changes may be prompted by a visual stimulus, such as flashing lights. A change of daily routine or lack of sleep, or more emotional factors, such as stress and excitement, can all prompt seizures in some individuals. Very often however, it is impossible to say what exactly acted as a stimulus for a seizure; there is no cause that we can readily see.

Treatment Options.

There have been important advances in anti-epileptic treatment over the past 25 years, with emphasis now on giving the patient a normal life. People with epilepsy need to discuss their medication requirements with their doctor or specialist – so that they get the full benefit from the treatment and risk or side effects is kept as low as possible. Pregnancy and epilepsy and medication during pregnancy are topics women need to discuss with their doctor. It’s very important for people taking anti–epileptic medication to keep their doctor informed of any other medication they are taking – the oral contraceptive pill, for example – because there can be an interaction between medication.

With modern anti–epileptic treatment, many people with epilepsy can lead a normal life. Children with epilepsy can achieve the same educational standards as other children according to their inborn abilities. Certainly, there may be limitations with regard to recreational activities – children with epilepsy should always be supervised when swimming – but such restrictions should not take all the fun out of life.

This is also why it’s so vital to alert medical staff of your condition. One of the best ways to achieve this is with a Mediband wristband. You’ll let the staff know how to treat you and what not to do.
