Question: Ok.... Here goes.
I'm pretty smart, and have tracked my Catamenial Epilepsy through the years. There must be SOMETHING I can do,

My mother and Great grandmother had epilepsy. My mother had seizures every 2 years like clock work. She died of a heart attack in 1994. My grandmother did not inherit this, but her mother had it.

I went for about 4 years not taking medicine, and seizure free.
I finished college, worked 2 jobs, got married, had kids, (you know the drill)
I have an MS in Environmental Science, I have written a children's book, (Fletcher the Fly), I've been with the Boy Scout Administration for 9 years now, and am a member of the Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department.

I determined I had Catamenial Epilepsy, and have tried many things. I want to find a fix for this problem. I've been driving since I was 16. On December 7th, I was at a scout camp with my boy, and drank nothing but hot chocolate, and ate all the white flour, etc, they served. I had a major set of seizures one week later.

In addition, my cycles are going crazy. I am no longer on a steady 28 day cycle, and my hormones are not right. The last time I went to a neurologist, he was sympathetic, but told me I could only drive if I could walk a straight line. I could not perform this feat. I've since learned that my medication may have been off, or misdiagnosed. I've eaten no sugar, and I want to be rid of this. Should I become OVER medicated, my body will reject it. My sweet husband has offered to chauffer me around. I'm scheduled to take a test on XXXXXXX 5th to become a 7th grade science teacher. I'll need to be able to drive to commute. I decided to teach, because I want to give something back. I could make good money, but I think my efforts will be better spent on the kids.
