Epilepsy - What is this?

I am not a Neurologist, a person that specializes in the anatomy and physiology of the brain, all that is connected to and from the brain helping with the conduction of electrical impulses in the body and brain processes. Most of us have heard the saying that left handed people are the only ones in their right mind, but did we really stop and think what this means? Our brain is composed of two hemispheres which are the Right hemisphere or side, and the Wrong, just kidding, Left hemisphere or side. Each hemisphere, or side, controls the body functions on the opposite side of that hemisphere. Left side of brain controls right side of body movements and is also the side that controls speech and different thought processes, and the Right side is where numbers and logical thinking are done, not to mention being in control of the Left hand and that side of the body. This is a simple explanation and may not be completely accurate, so look this up and send in your corrections or agreements and elaborate or explain further.
Epilepsy is diagnosed when a person has more than one seizure, a misfiring of electrical impulses in the brain or a malfunction of electrical impulses, that prevents that person from normal activity for a period of time and have no known origin. Seizures can begin either by causing a dazed or dream state, partial seizure, to a grand Mal with convulsions and incontinence. These are actually examples of one extreme to the other, which means there are varying degrees of seizure activity, some so slight they can go unnoticed and some so severe that they can even cause death. The great news being that there is help to control seizure activity to the extent of decreased seizure activity to nonexistent seizure activity. Epilepsy can begin after high fever episodes in children, but not all children that have high fevers will develop Epilepsy. Epilepsy can have genetic factors related to its origin in an individual, but most people diagnosed with epilepsy, over 50 to 75 percent and maybe higher, have idiopathic or no known origin of this phenomenon. The medical field has very limited knowledge about the causes and cures concerning Epilepsy. However, I believe this is beginning to change drastically as this is being typed. Till next entry, everyone keep researching and sharing what you find, we will find a true cause and a cure!
