Thank you for explaining the seizure arising when too much of the brain cells start doing the same thing.

I’ve recently I have seizures, and visited my local VA doctor who prescribed numerous medications for me. My wife tells me that I’ve fell down the stairs on two occasions, bit my tongue, had a head surgery, and still confused as to what has happened.
