Anyone with Endo AND epilepsy?From: Kerrilynn (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed Sep 22 19:51:12 2004
I know this may be a stretch of a question. but I am 22 and recently diagnosed with Partial Epilepsy. Meaning, I have focal seizures rather than the tonic-clonic (convulsing) ones. Focal seizures come in all shapes and sizes, can last anywhere from seconds to minutes and involve anything from twitching to smacking lipis to loss of vision and mental confusion. Sometimes its really hard to differentiate what is and isnt a seizure. Granted there are signs and symptoms to look out for that are tell-tale, I just havent been able to recognize them yet. I also have been diagnosed with Endo for a little over a year and had a lap last november. I guess they called it stage one. The doctor never really said. Just cut out a few peices and lazered what she could of the rest (she said it was deep and on a blood vessel). Tried the deop-provera, continuous Ovcon-35, and now I am on ortho-evra. Since the Depo, I havent had a normal period and have been in the ER 3 times with a ruptured cyst, and severe pain, morphine didnt even kill it. I've been experiencing much GI distress as well. I see a new dr in two weeks. My main question is if anyone else deals with both disorders/diseases. I did some research and learned that Endo can exacerbate epilepsy because of the pain and high estrogen levels. I was wondering what anyone was able to do to help alleviate and/or treat the two. Feeling lost. K
