Insomnia, seizures & painful menstruation - are they related?

The absolute best thing for you to do, particularly if you are deeply interested, is to consult directly with a practitioner. There is a whole host of information and other details that we need to properly offer recommendations that is simply unsuitable for a public forum (and some you just can’t do such as various physical diagnostic tools).

There is very likely a deep relationship between your issues, but generally it is not a linear one like how most western minds want to think - i.e. A causes B and B causes C. This is where a deep understanding of the theories of Chinese Medicine is critical and treatment wise there are stages to proper resolution of these issues even if you know the deepest underlying diagnosis. Clearing/moving first before you strengthen generally, but it gets far more elaborate than that.

All that said you have have issues that are very commonly treated with acupuncture and herbal medicine, so I suggest you see a practitioner in your local area.

Some articles to explore the diagnostic procedure would be “treating the cause and not the symptoms” and “how to choose a formula”. Our general sections on insomnia and acupuncture for insomnia and dysmenorrhea and acupuncture for dysmenorrhea may also be of interest.
