Women with epilepsy face unique challenges when it comes to having children, making family planning and preconception counseling an important part of the process. There are medical concerns, particularly relating to a woman’s antiepileptic drugs, which need to be addressed before, during, and after pregnancy.. In this episode of CURE’s Seizing Life podcast, mother Caroline McAteer speaks to her experience bringing her daughter Nora into the world. Caroline discusses how she approached the topic of pregnancy with her husband, her epileptologist, and her Ob/Gyn, as well as how she managed her epilepsy and medication changes throughout the process to reduce the risk of having seizures while pregnant.

There are many questions that women have with regard to their hormonal cycles and epilepsy, including menstruation and ovulation. These cycle events may be correlated with the onset of seizures. This type of epileptic condition is called catamenial epilepsy.. Dr. Shin explains these hormonal effects, diagnosis and treatment options for female patients with catamenial epilepsy.

My 16 years old son was epileptic autistic, it was actually discovered on him when he was just 2 and 6 years old respectively and ever since he had lived with the both worse disorders. I tried my best to pay attention to him because i was so concerned and did’t want to loose my only son to Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). When my doctor first confirmed to me that my son’s epileptic case could result to SUDEP anytime sooner i was so afraid and i needed something that will permanently cure both epilepsy and autism from him and this was when my own medical doctor advised me to go for local natural herbs medications. I immediately heeded to the advice and was directed to one herbal Dr. Bude whose email is [email protected] gmail com. I contacted him and after a while i ordered some herbs cure from him which he shipped to my address and in just 4 days i got them in Cincinnati. I gave my son the herbs for only weeks and that was the end of my son’s epilepsy and serous autism. For almost 4 years now my son had not experienced Epileptic disorder neither has he developed signs of Autism again. Thanks to Dr. Bude for helping me and my son, his life has been brighter since knowing that he’s free and won’t experience autism and epilepsy again, now my son communicates more fluently and better.
