Hi,
I suspect that I have catamenial epilepsy. One month ago I had my first seizure. It was also the first time I has menstruated since my last son was born. It had been about 18 months. I was put on trileptal and everything stopped for a month. Now, the very next time I menstruated, I had 2 auras (no seizures) in 2 days. Maybe a third while I was sleeping. I am not sure if it was an aura or a dream.
I want to find a DR. in the Baltimore area who can specialize in this. My Dr. did not even mention this although I told him from day one I suspected these were tied to my hormones. Any ideas (on Dr's or anything else dealing with catamenial epilepsy)?
Thank you!
Erin
