Rotational E

Thu, 07/26/2007 - 23:39
Not sure how strange this will sound, but does anyone else experience seizures that seems to happen on a rotational basis. For the last year or so, I have been experiencing seizures on a rotational basis of every 5 weeks and it is almost to the day. Blood tests have shown that medication levels are within the required levels, limited alcohol consumption and keep up on my sleep. Any ideas?

I've been seizure free for 4 years now. I've always been told about my seizures having something to do with my hormones and now i'm going through menopause and the seizures have come to a halt. Alls i know,is that i'm so thankful, as i have a very full life of family, horse backriding and more. I am also a heart patient and i have Lupus.

They stopped w/ menopause? So... have you had any children? Did you have seizures while pregnant?

pmoore.......So far my seizures have stopped, i just want this menopause to be over with. I have one son, and one granddaughter who keeps me busy. I had a couple of seizures when i had my son, he was pulled out by forceps due to the fact that i wasn't helping much then. I woke up and found a beautiful little boy. Then i slept, as i needed it after that e. episode during childbirth.
