I am epileptic with grand mal seizures. I have had them since I was 17 and why they started who knows. Maybe I needed to prove to myself that I am strong enough to overcome such odds. The doctors have no idea and I have been on every medication. My seizures occur mostly because of stress: during finals and midterms. Oh and of course during that lovely time of the month. I am curious if I control my stress levels and take away the time of the month(with birth control) can I be seizure free? Does anyone else out there have seizures most often around their period?
