seizures related to menses
by kmm39, Jan 20, 2008 03:35PM
I am a 36 yr old woman who had been on the birth control pill for 10years. In August I started having periods of dizziness, confusion, and sleep distrubtion as my hormones shifted particularly during my period. I felt as though I would pass out. Many tests have been . All my hormones levels are normal, thyroid, etc. also I have had a CT scan and and MRI, which showed nothing. I was taken of the birth control pill and since then I never sleep through the night, I have cognative difficulties and think I am going to pass out starting at ovulation and running through my period. It is worse every other month when my cycle only runs 24 days. Could I be having continual seizures during that time? Can you get seizures at 36 if you haven't had them before? I never sleep through the night. I am awakened 4 and 5 times and often feel like I haven't slept even though I know that I have. Any insight would be appreciated.
