Hi, My mum has epilepsy and has had it since a young age. I've noticed over the last year some changes - I think its brain deterioration but I'm no doctor.
She struggles to speak to read, walk on her own due to balance, her shakes are awful! She doesn't eat properly and slowly develops new eating habits (wont have crust on her sandwiches then doesn't like bread).
She hardly leaves the house or interacts with anyone except those who live with her, and house work has become close to none. Holding a conversation with her is extremely hard and she doesn't have much to say and when she does she is unable to get her words out. Just over 12 months ago she argued with me when my birthday was (its been the same day for 23 years).
Has anyone experienced this? Is this from the Epilepsy, or from not keeping the brain active enough? or should i be looking into something else?
Thank you.
