What Do High Levels Of Anti GAD Causing Seizure Like Activity Mean?
I have recently found out with an EEG test that I have high levels of anti gad but my fasting blood sugar was good. I have been having some seizure like activity. My blood sugar levels were really good. What does this mean and how does one develop high levels of this?

you need to discuss this issue further with your doctor. anti gad antibodies are a marker for autoimmune disease of the brain but can also be a false positive or asymptomatic finding. only your doctor will know whether your seizures are related or not. epileptic seizures are a symptom of brain dysfunction but not all seizures are epileptic and most are not caused by autoimmune disorders
