I have a seizure once a month around the same time usually within the same week. I always joked around with everyone saying I am having my "period" but now I am doing some research and seeing that guys also have menstrual cycles but not very noticeable.

Diagnosed epilepsy 2017 after two seizures two years apart. Lamotrgine has kept seizures away. Have always been a bit light sensitive but Increasingly in recent months… If I’ve seen a very bright flash of light or spend more than an hour on PC, within 24hr i get a fuzzy headache in one area of head, right centre.. lasts for four or five days and then clears… it’s a fairly recent development for it to be happening so frequently and am a bit concerned.

I am 100% positive that hormones are playing a huge factor in both the frequency and intensity of my seizures but I’m not sure where to start to address it. If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know!
Yes, during my 40's I had more seizures and they were more intense. Some were so strong that I forgot people's names. I weeks of dizziness. Then once I hit my 50's it stopped. I haven't had a seizure… read more
