Question: Do you know any doctors that are willing to consider progesterone lozenges to help with catamenial epilepsy (I started seizures in 2012 at around the same time I started perimenopausal symptoms). I have had approximately 6 seizures and the last ones were in a cluster and I am still feeling anxious, depressed and rather vague about the whole thing. I need a new doctor who will help me try the progesterone therapy tried by Dr A G Herzog in the USA.

I don't really have any medical reports I can send you. All I can say is that none of the specialists I have seen have any idea what is causing the epilepsy. I used to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes.

I had my first seizure when I ceased alcohol consumption and had no other seizures for quite some time. I had perimenopausal symptoms, a few missed periods, hot flushes etc and then had two clusters of seizures just before my periods.
