I am because I think nothing has helped me get my seizures under control. I think I have had catamenial seizures. Because my seizures started when I was 17 when I started having my menstrual. My menstrual period was irregular because I had my menstrual period 6 months. Then I was off 6 months. Now since I don't have a menstrual period I think menopause is the reason my hormones are effecting me. I don't get hot flashes or anything dealing with menopause I still think that's the reason my seizures a still happing.
Very interesting. Here’s my story, pull up a chair. Prior to menopause all my seizures were within 2-3 days of starting my period and occurred mid-day. Now that I have hit menopause all of my seizures have occurred at night. I have often wondered if the change in my hormones has had an effect on my seizures. It may be something to bring up at my next doctor’s visit.
Yes, some people have found that getting their hormones checked and treated can help reduce seizures. One MyEpilepsyTeam member shared how lowering her dose of Lamotrigine reduced side effects. Another mentioned a study showing hormone imbalances like estrogen dominance are common in women with epilepsy. Hormonal therapies Show Full Answer
No, but that would be a wonderful day.
I agree with your post and others here, but no I have not had that done or brought up since my diagnosis of my epilepsy by the medical system and any of my doc (s) that have treated me, I am ok with my current condition and my doc is treating me currently, she is a good person also, my opinion
