I read your article and I need to gather some additional information regarding epilepsy. I am a pharmacist currently practicing in South Africa. My cousin, eight years old, recently played tennis, fainted/fell down and had a uncontrolled stifness of her little body and then actually started having convulsions with no intervals of stifness for a few minutes.

I would appreciate it if you could reply to my e mail, I would like to know if there is any possibility of this relating to some kind of epilepsy.

Thank You
