For any of the women out here can you share your experience and impact of on your seizures if you had to have hysterectomy due to uterine fibroids and the impacts they cause?
Thanks ladies. It’s been a rollercoaster. I spent two months with heavy periods which points to estrogen dominance but no seizures. Then my periods came back regular pointing to my hormones balancing out and here are my seizures back.
When I Had Uterine Fibroids, I Wasn't Having Or Diagnosed With Epileptic Seizures During That Decade.
I asked that question to my Epileptologist. He asked me none of your sz are caused by an abnormality in your uterus! He said if you had Cancer or abnormality then remove it. He replied keep your body as natural as possible. After menopause my seizures changed . They are not as severe. I have subtle ones but medication is doing the trick along with keeping busy! Reading is an art. I love it! Crossword puzzles that’s an art, too! All initial challenges but it keeps me busy along with other things. Try to keep as natural as possible! I heard it from my OB/GYN and Epileptologist.
