permenant brain damage from siezures - Epilepsy Message Board

Does the brain ever just not start working again after a particularly bad siezure? I have a friend in the hospital right know after his last siezure yesterday, and I don't really know anything about this condition. Last we had heard, he had not regained coherence.

What a scary question! I'll be interested in the answers you receive.

Take care!

my buddy has since returned back to his old self, plus a dislocated shoulder and broken humerus, but still the same guy, but I am still interested in an answer.

Chris - Glad to hear your friend has "woken up" and back to his normal self. Do you or anyone know how long his seizure lasted and what type of seizure it was? I was just wondering if it had lasted longer than the five minutes and if he had been without oxygen? Glad to hear your friend is OK.
