I am a 30 year old female with a  history of angioma, at the age of 14, I had one angioma removed. Recently, I was diagnosed with multiple angiomas  which were cavenous. In the past two years I have had 2 surgerys to remove the tumors. The latest surgery has proven to be successful  in the latest MRI. However, I have suffered from seizures during or near my menstral cycle. Sometimes the seizures are servere and multiple. My dosages of tegrital and neutron  have been increased and decreased to find an a dosage level that can allow me to function properly. In some cases these drugs leave me in a stoned state. Is there an alternate medicine to prevent these seizures or this drugged feeling??? What can be perscribed during the time of my menstral cycle??? Should  I see a Neuroligist or Gynocologist??? My neuroligist believes the whole seizure problem circles around my menstral cycle.
