Is it possible that the women who suffer from epilepsy after childbirth lose her disease?

Please note that I am not a medical doctor, but do work in the field of brain research.
It is definitely possible. There are many causes of seizures following pregnancy (or during pregnancy). One condition is called eclampsia, and is described quite well on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/eclampsia).. However, the causes of eclampsia are not well understood, nor are the effects of hormones (like estrogen and progesterone) on epilepsy (search for epilepsy and pregnancy at www.pubmed.gov for research).
