There are some people who have seizures due to hormonial changes.As for the seizure types I can not say.You can find posts about women who have seizures or break thru seizures during their time of month. When a person changes it affects their medications. This I do know since I had an increase of seizures. Growing from a kid weighing 85 lbs to a teen weighing 135 lbs in 8-10 months my dosages needed to be increased 4-5 times. If you want to know some information or if this ailment can affect her seizures then by all means call the 24/7 help line. Anybody can call it whether they are family. friends or just needing answers to questions they may have. You can find the number in the get help section or on this page near the bottom
