Recent studies show that people with MS are slightly more likely to have a seizure or develop epilepsy than the general population. The more physical disability a person has from MS (as assessed using the EDSS disability scale for MS), the more likely they are to develop seizures. Also, the longer duration someone has MS, the more likely they are to develop seizures. Join Dr. Marissa Kellogg to learn about seizures and epilepsy.

My husband passed from MS in 2013. His MS started with seizures in Vietnam. He only had about 4 of them from 1969-2013. They were grand maul in nature. They always happened in his sleep. He also, during that time, had 2 episodes where he was awake yet became verbally uncontrollable and violent. The VA never acknowledged the possibility of epilepsy. Although the VA only experienced 1 of the verbal episodes. The seizures were always, as I stated, in his sleep and started with a nightmare.
