If you have a pacemaker and become terminally ill with a condition unrelated to your heart, such as cancer, it's possible that your pacemaker could prolong the process of dying. Doctors and researchers have varied opinions on turning off a pacemaker in end-of-life situations.

I have had epilepsy for 40 years now and hypothyroidism was picked up through a blood test. Hormones has a lot to do with epilepsy and and also the thyroid. I currently take Euthyrox for Hypothyroidism and Carbamazapine and Phenytoin for Epilepsy. Depending on the level of the hormones, this can affect your seizures. My epilepsy started at the age of 16 (puberty years), I have had a full hysterectomy and am on HRT.
