Epilepsy medicine seems to keep her stable on a daily basis. Except when her menstrual cycle is starting. Then she is prone to small seizures.
Can anyone provide some feedback on how patients dealt with that.

great question! For women with epilepsy, a menstrual cycle can very much so be a seizure trigger. I found some articles here on site that might be helpful! https://epilepsydisease.com/women https://epilepsydisease.com/seizure-triggers https://epilepsydisease.com/catamenial Additionally, checking her with her doctor would also be a great place of resource! Hope this information helps. Warmly, Kailah (Epilepsy Team Member)
