Any known correlation hypothrydism and epilepsy?


Question:
I have had hypothyrodism for six and half years and just found out I have epilepsy also. I was wondering if anyone knew of a connection between the two and if so, where could i find it?

The above WebMD site describes a condition called Hypothyroid Myopathy, a disease which could be related to your question. Please print it out and bring to your next doctor's appointment and see what he/she says about it.

Good luck.

my mom had hyper, then got it nuked. It changed it to hypo. She never had epilepsy. The thyroid affects metabolic rate. I've never heard to two correlating. GL
