So tomorrow am I going to be given my first injection with Zoladex.
For those of you who are unaware this is a drug in pellet form that will be injected under the skin on my abdomen to be absorbed that will force my body into a menopausal state for one month.
I will be given hormones at an even rate to balance out the side effects that naturally will occur.
This is usually given to men with prostate cancer or women with breast cancer whose hormones worsen their cancer or I have heard also of people with horrible endometriosis using this.
I will let you know my personal experience with this if you are interested!
Now, to be fair, I may not be the best person to judge how this will change my seizures because there is an ongoing debate whether or not my seizures are psychogenic.
They are connected with my cycle though.
I do not know of anyone else attempting this personally (if you have tried this...please let me know your experience!!!) except a handful of others who also see this particular gynecologist who have catamenial epilepsy.
