Peroids and Epilepsy. Ufff. Anyone have success with certain kinds of birth control pills? Tips on managing effects of hormone changes on seizures? Anyone take Pamprin to help ease cramps, bloating and moodiness?

You’re gonna have lots of mood swings with that as well I remember mine oh good grief my mood swings are terrible that’s why I didn’t take any pills because taking the pills gave me the worst mood swings there ever was so I had to get off of them real fast and they would screw up my cycle even worse anxiousness and anxiety anger anything and everything in your lifestyle that’s why I said have a log ladies and gentlemen ladies especially this way you know your cycles gonna be late because your cycle will be late if you argue a lot fight a lot the month before especially if you fight the month before your cycles gonna be three days maybe even four days late back on it mine was constantly late when I argued and fought more than once if I did it twice in the month forget it it was two maybe three days late sometimes wore to be cautious taking something doesn’t make it perfect keeping yourself calm cool and collected works ignoring people works making yourself a better person works yes it’s hard to do but it’s not and it’s not easy but you have to let insults go in one ear and out the other and ignore themRemember you are a better person all the way around or you live a lot longer if you ignore the insults and let it go in one ear and out the oven and let it roll right off your back like a seal remember something like my dad used to tell tell me because he was a Marine you just have to pick yourself back up and keep putting 1 foot in front of the other and like my grandparents used to tell me God has a plan some times for everyone of us I’m not here for no reason we are here for a reason and that is the plan we don’t always know it but it’s there ahead of us somewheres and we’ll find itAll in due time so remember life is always gonna be worth living.

Do you notice sensitivities to everything even more around that time? hives, irritated skin? I have the same condition but had it for so long i figured out we are just way more sensitive to our triggers around our period but we are in danger at all times. Lay off the perfume (all smell goods) no house aerosol sprays, believe it or not dont expose your self to cleaning products . the most you can clean with is bleach, alcohol. the best and only body soap i have discover dose not trigger us is dial white soap. i never used that brands dail white foam soap so maybe you wanna experiment with that and cleaning. not DOVE DIAL. but our biggest arch enemies are artificial dyes in food red #40 yellow#5 that stuff. never eat anything with it in there. my seizures all but stopped the from nonstop to only around my period because i was eating the dyes and it took my sister and i 10 years to figure this out. but the biggie biggie is clothes detergent and I cant lie I have not really figure out one to replace them yet. but they have this good lemon vingar all natural clothes soap out now. i have not tried it but it may work. im to overwhelmed to add another thing to try on my list at the moment. so at this time its horrible but im wearing my clothes over again and tossing them. and at worst hand washing them with my bar soap and hang drying them. but during your cycle is bad but that usually the end of the fight its the week or few days before, the ovulation thats the hell b***h.
