I started with seizures just as I was coming out of menopause at 54. I’m going to be 64 in June. All of my family and friends as well as myself think my epilepsy was brought on by a hormonal change. I… read more

My least favorite part of an EEG was having the electrodes implanted directly into my scalp. Then I was told to relax!
