Visit GYN?

Hi all. I have a question I'd like some feedback on. Almost all of my seizures happen around the time of my period.I have mentioned this to my neurologist several times. While he acknowledges the connection between female hormones and seizures, he does not want to pursue checking my hormones and treating any imbalance that may contribute to my seizures. After a recent increase in my medication, I am now at 1200mg of Trieptal. All of my seizures seem to be complex partials. After reading the numorous postings here regarding female hormones, I am considering making an appointment with a gynocologist to see if he would consider checking my hormones and prescribing progesterone if my levels were low. I am not sure if a gynocologist would be willing to treat what is really a neurological problem. I am also concerned about the increased risk of certain reproductive cancers if I were to take the progesterone. There have been some reproductive and breast cancers in my family. I am just getting frustrated with having the seizures. The one I had a month ago was just about the one that broke the camel's back. It happened while cooking and I poured a pot of boiling water on myself. I had to be hospitalized for 4 days. My burns are still recovering. Sure enough, the seizure happend 5 days before my period. I would appreciate any feedback any of you could offer. Thank you. TLH
