Sorry but this is going to be rather long...
I am wondering how many of you have associated seizures with possible thyroid problems. I've been doing research and found some really interesting information. I have seizures about every 30 to 45 days all at once within a 24 hour period. I've always suspected my seizures as being caused by hormones because of the 30 to 45 timing. It doesn't matter what level of stress...they come on like clockwork no matter what the circumstance is. Up until about 3 months ago I was always thin and had energy to spare. Now I'm always tired no matter how much sleep I get. I'm always cold even when it's warm. I have hot flashes in the middle of the night even through I'm on estrigen. I sometimes have swelling in my hands and feet. My joints all kill me all the time. I have lost alot of my strength. I always get tingling in my shoulder. I have no desire to do anything. I have the blurred vision and hearing loss. I can't remember what I was getting ready to do. I have started having speech problems. I can forget what I was saying in the middle of a sentence. The list goes on and on. My thyroid level has been checked once or twice in the past, but only the basic test, and has always been normal. I am beginning to wonder if I'm having Thyrotoxic Episodes. From what I have researched these can go undetected because your thyroid levels go up and down.
Anyone else experience this?
