Hi Sharon,
How are you feeling? I must admitt you are a puzzle to figure out. I've never heard of going through a cycle like you mentioned. I know when I was still having my cycle I would have sz. for 7-10 before my cycle then about 1 week later.
I've been on Diamox for 14 yrs. if not longer and when I first started it my neuro had me taking it 5 days before my cycle and it did help reduce the sz. because it was getting rid of the extra fluids in my body that were triggering sz. Within time I was put on the drug every day.
I know that yrs. later when I saw an epi for surgery he told me that my sz. may get more frequent and worse or they could decrease and get better it was all because I have TLE.
Just becareful with your weight because diamox can cause a person to lose weight, it makes you feel full and then you don't want to eat. I lost a lot of weight while on this drug but it has helped me the most along with mysoline (primidone) to control my sz..
I wish you only the best of luck and May God Bless You!
