Temporal Lobe Seizures after Hysterectomy
Sat, 02/11/2017 - 16:52Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Im wondering if any other ladies are experiencing similar events.
I had both ovaries and my uterus removed over a year ago due to endometriosis and continous ovarian cysts. I am not on any HRT because of the negative effect of hormones on any endo that may remain. Lately i have been having intense dejavu type spells. Where my body rushes with heat (10x worse than a hotflash) and i start to reall some memory but cant seem to grasp it. Then i start sweating and get frustrated that i cannot remember what it was that i was trying to recall that seemed so familiar. Then i end up with a massive headache that lasts for days and just feel overall groggy. When i research these symptoms, Temporal Lobe seizures is the first thing to come up. I was diagnosed with epilepsy when i was a child but have been seizure free for over 20 years. Im wondering if the flux in hormones could be affecting something?
