I'm sure I am not alone!

I just want to know if anyone here has had the same problem. I usually had an aura which meant sit down or you're going down, my left side would freeze up and after about 3 minutes was ok to get back up. I had a tubal ligation and my seizures changed. Now sometimes I get an aura, sometimes I don't, I now black out and scream for about 5 minutes then am completely incoherent for up to half an hour.

Anyone who has had a tubal ligation or vasectomy have any changes in your seizures?

Given the way hormones can play a role in seizures, it makes sense that a tubal ligation might have an impact. Below are some CWE threads that might be interesting to you:
