Does anyone have issues with dealing with menopause when living with seizures? And how do you deal with it or handle it?

Many look forward tp menopause to alleviate seizures from rise+ fall of hormones monthly. Both estrogen + male testosterone used by brain so levels are high for most epileptics. An endocrinologist-neurologist leader in this Dr Herzoag in 1988 tested mine, confirmed cause of seizures. See both types of Dr reg testing so neuro Dr can tell how high. In my case no menopause till 58 years old but was a breeze. Ask Dr bout if endocrinologist should test your levels to help.
