Does anybody find that just before and during their periods they tend to have a lot of seizures? I struggle with this every month and it is a real challenge because I find my epilepsy can be a real problem as a result of this! I can end up having all different types of seizure as well from absence, myoclonic, tonic clonic to the odd focal! It is absolutely awful!
