m afraid that epilepsy is an equal opportunity disease. My seizures started out
of the blue in my early 20s. Until that time, I thought you were either born with epilepsy or it was brought on by brain injury or some other specific cause. I have since learned that many cases of epilepsy, like mine, are diagnosed as idiopathic (no known cause), and you just take your meds, adjust your life and live with it. Of course, you should try to find out if there is some treatable cause.
