I am 61 years old and have just started having full blown siezures I`m waiting to have an MRI brain scan but living in the U.K this could take some time,I have read that a small number of sjogren sufferers can have them.Does anyone suffer these at all tome 61 seems to be a bit late to start epilepsy.Thanks in advance Butterfly54.

The epilepsy specialist said that older men (over 60) is the second highest onset group after children.
