I totally disagree with my last poster

I never had any seizure episodes prior to my first head injury in the US Army. I was knocked out and bleed quiet a bit of blood.  The length of time knocked out I cannot say for sure. I tasted blood in my mouth and it was an open head wound in the form of a deep scalp laceration. It required several stitches to close the wound.  There are newer evidence that Traumatic Seizures can and do result from a blunt force blow to the head.  They would can be either open or closed wound and still result in Epilepsy and/or seizure disorder.
The second time, two years later I got hit over the head with a piece of 2 X 4 wood directly down on top of head.  My head ran directly into sharpened edge of the same 2 x4 piece of wood.  It was again an open head wound deep cut into my scalp.  It too required, several stitches to close the wound.  I lay on the ground beneath the building for some 20 -25 minutes according to my two witnesses.  I was the only driver of the car I was driving on the US Military Base. Once I awoke up, I had to drive the vehicle some 30 miles to the US Army Hospital for treatment.  I passed out a couple of times on the way back to base.  The wittnesses told me this themselves and signed statements to the facts.
There was no phones or houses near us for 30 miles distance.  Yet, the last poster said that there was no corlation between head injuries and Traumatic Epilepsy.  I was diagnosed by the Western Neurology Group as having Epilepsy after I got out of the US Army.   They examined my head  and said the seizure could only have come from a head wound that I recieved earlier in life.  I was diagnosed with Complex Partial Seizure once I got out.  In the 1970's the US Army did not perform any head treatment on me other than stitches and bed rest.  No x-rays, No MRI, or any other test like that was done on me after the three TBI.
