Hormone cycles could play a role. Also, I recently read a study in which people who at a special diet reduced their seizure activity by 70 % or more if I remember correctly. I think it was a modified Atkins type diet. Therefore, it is possible that you are eating something every so often that triggers a cyclical type seizure activity. aha, I just found one of the links on this topic and pasted the site. Hope it helps.

No I do not. But you are taking medicine that is not working for you. See your health care provider VERY SOON....
