Yes, seizures are more common in people with MS than in the general population. In fact, up to 8 out of every 100 people with MS experience seizures. These seizures can occur due to brain lesions that develop as part of MS.
Focal seizures (also called partial seizures) affect one specific area of the brain. Symptoms can vary depending on which part of the brain is affected. Some people may appear confused, seem to stare into space, experience strange tastes or smells, or have localized muscle movements. Many MyMSTeam members have shared their experiences with seizures. While some members report having occasional seizures, others have experienced multiple episodes. The good news is that seizures can often be managed with antiepileptic medications. It's important to work closely with your healthcare team to monitor these symptoms and adjust treatment as needed.
If your husband experiences seizures, his doctor may recommend additional testing like an EEG to monitor brain activity and determine which part of the brain is triggering the seizures. This can help guide treatment decisions.
