Are There Any Other Epileptics Who Have Never Had A Headache Before?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’m 41 years old and I’ve never had a headache. Is this because I have seizures instead?

Can You Set Up A New Prorogram
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have an idea for a new program called Epilepsy Dating. Why not create a program so single epileptic members can meet others? They can search to meet a person of the same or oposite sex, provide a profile , photo and message. Many epileptic members have a hard time living alone.

Can Untreated Focal Aware & Focal Unaware Seizures Lead To Migraines?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

It all started about 2 years ago. It was originally caused by a sugar rush I would drink about 8 cans of soft drinks over the course of the week and get really dehydrated then about two years ago I started getting headaches about three a week. I had a sudden Tonic-clonic seizure late last year (I already had epilepsy) then after that happened I basically cut right back on all soft drinks I was having and increased my water intake. So as of now, I'm lucky if I have 1-2 soft drinks. I still drink… read more

Jack, I've had migraines most of my adult life, whether due to my seizures or just dealing w/ people or heavy duty stress, I don't know. My MD prescribed RizaTriptan / as needed, it helps a lot.

Headaches/Migrains
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

To anyone who regularly gets headaches do you take anything for them or do you just let it run its course until it's gone away?

The main reason I bring this up is, normally I would just take paracetamol for it and it is gone away but it still lasts 6 hrs+.
So my point is how would you work out the base time for these headaches if you were to just let them run their course until they go away?

Chronic Migraines
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, I have chronic daily headaches with chronic migraines about twice a week. I have tried most painkillers and recently been to the pain clinic. I am now waiting for a nerve block in the back of my head then acupuncture to follow. I go numb down my left side which the doctor said is a contribution to myofascial. Should acupuncture work as there is risks because of my epilepsy.

It was the time of the month later on it or it was the new sz medication. I meditate which helps me to be relaxed and BP stays low! Hardly get migraines now ! I wish you the best!

Head Pains And Epilepsy
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I do not experience migraines and never have. However, I do get shooting pains in my temples every so often. The only way that I can describe them is like how I would imagine it feels to have someone ram a red hot poker into my temple. Sometimes the left side, sometimes the right side and occasionally both sides at once. They don’t last long but are very painful and the doctors have never been able to explain why I get them. I had 80% of a tumour on the brain removed but that has not had any… read more
