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.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy in my early twenties, and diagnosed with sjogrens at 32. I've never been told that the seizures were in any way related to the Sjogrens, but what you've said has now raised the question in my mind.

My husband started to have seizures in his mid 60's after a very stressful time.

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