HYSTERECTOMY/LUPRON SHOTS?
Tue, 05/30/2006 - 11:52Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Hey. I'm not sure if I have already asked about this or not, (you all know how memory problems are). I have tonic clonic seizures normally at night, but I have had some awake. I have the aura's but usually not a seizure (then).
I have been unable to drive since February (I'm 28). I have ,more so than not, my seizures under control EXCEPT during the days before my period. I have at least 2 or 3 each month at this time. At this rate I will never be able to drive again, and it is affecting me so much. I guess its having to depend on someone all the time.
My gyno suggested 2 months of Lupron shots to see if my seizures would stop while my ovaries are shut down. If they improve a hysrerectomy ia an option. I'm just scared. Don't know what to do. My husband is scared for me to take these shots.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Wendy- forgot to post this website with my previous comment. You might want to check it out. Don't want to scare you, but my days of trusting everything a doctor says without doing research first are over. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/LupronVictims Kelly
