Of course, we have no way of knowing if it was actually a singular event or not.

also, substances like cocaine can cause onset of epilepsy.

or are you implying LB's epilepsy was misdiagnosed? http://www.epilepsysociety.org.uk/no...s#.Ut1w4Z4o5nQ

i recall him saying in some interview that he responded well to anti-epilepsy medication and didn't have problems after he started talking it.
