Counterpoint; My mum nearly died of Covid, six weeks in hospital, four of which were in ICU. On leaving we discovered she no longer had epilepsy.

If this is true, I hope she is in contact with an epilepsy researcher or three.
She's not, no.
This is the sort of extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence to support it, and there are many potential confounding factors.
What sort of evidence would satisfy you?
A formal case report by her physician would be satisfactory.
I'm probably being stupid, but are the down votes due to scepticism about the veracity of my comment?
My guess is because it was not a counter-point to what the previous poster wrote. Although what they wrote does not exactly address the comment being replied to either.
Uh...What?
