Epilepsy and Menstruation

Ladies, I’ve been living epilepsy for 16 years and I’ve learned we are prone to seizures near or during our monthly cycles. The estrogen gets dumped in our blood and dissolve medications quicker. If you’re not medicated please keep a schedule of your monthly cycle so you know when you may be prone to seizures.
