Hi Garney,
I found out through my family Dr. that when we are going through a change the estrogen and progesterone levels are going up and down and for some women that means more sz. The only time I had sz. was a week before and then a few days after my monthly cycle. It's then that the estrogen level is to high which causes excitment and leads to sz. while the progesterone level is to low and it's progesterone that helps calm the nerves. I have a cousin who had grand mal sz. for yrs. until she went through her change and she hasn't had a single sz. since then which is over 20 yrs. Keep a record of your hot flashes, migraines, sz. etc. each month and your neuro may see a pattern as to what days of the month as well as what time of the day or night this will happen. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
