Rotational E

Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Adults

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?

Yes I have two beautiful boys - I had a grand mal seizure in my sleep, thankfully, while I was seven months pregnant with my second son. Perhaps menopause might be what I need. Will also look into the progestrone cream. Thanks

Hi pmoore, Natural Progesterone Cream, comes from soybean & wild yam root, and matches the chemical formulation of our body's own progesterone. It's a natural hormone, which is an alternative to using synthetic hormone replacement (because of the negative side effects). My Chiropractor recommends it. I have found that it helps reduce PMS symptoms, it balances my hormones, and I have had fewer seizures since using it. Wreath
