Do Epilepsy And Brain Tumor Increase Risks Of Alzheimer S?
Does having epilepsy and having had a brain tumour make one more likely to suffer from Alzheimer s? My short term memory is terrible and gets worse by the year. I had a brain tumour at age Thirteen in my left frontal cranial lobe. I also have epilepsy which I inherited on the night I started my first menstrual cycle. As did my sister and our mother s mother. I feel like my memories are fading away day by day. My family doctor tells me it must be my diet. I don t believe that, I m a relatively healthy eater.
