Hi. I am 37 and have recently been having what could be described as a partial seizure - where my face droops and the whole right side becomes heavy and I am unable to hold myself up. My scans thankfully have come back clear and I am waiting on an EEG. However ... when I was 33 I had a partial hysterectomy so my ovaries were left because of my age. A lady who was the hospital at the same time as me told me to pester the neurologist about a hormone imbalance which might be causing the seizure like symptoms - they do tend to be towards the end of the month which is when my cycle used to function - has anyone heard of this at all please or offer any other advice. Thank you

May I suggest talking to your doctor about a med called LaMICtal, If that dose not work, I went a whole year without arua or seizures taking a martial arts class. It was not so much what I learned, the over 100 jumping jack, stretching, working my body at least 5 days a week. You have heard it before," use it or lose it". Exercise make sense. As soon as I stopped everything came back with in a week. Good luck, life with out seizures can be amazing, always try new things don't let it win.
