I am 46 years old and had my second seizure on Monday. My first seizure was a grand mal seizure on the floor of a Las Vegas casino 4 years ago. I was alone in my kitchen when I had my seizure on Monday but evidence suggests that it was also a grand mal seizure. The one common factor between these two incidents is that they both happened just hours before the start of my period.
My neurologist wants me to consider taking Lamictal or Keppra-XR but I'm reluctant to take AED's. I've just spent the last year battling non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and I'm reluctant to introduce more chemicals to my body. I also don't have prescription drug coverage and since I'm already taking several $100's worth of meds related to my cancer recovery, the cost of AED's has me thinking twice.....
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Lamictal or Keppra-XR. I'm also curious if hormone management can be used to control seizures.
