Fatigue and headache.
Thu, 09/14/2006 - 08:10Good morning. I think.
Has anyone else suffered from severe debilitating headaches?
I woke up at 3am with a headache so bad I could barely get out of bed to get an advil. I went back to bed and woke up feeling a bit better, but I'm tired. I'm so tired I just want to curl up and cry.
I think I had a seizure yesterday, but I don't know when. I just had the sense that I'd had one. I know I've been back to spacing out a lot.
My neuro told me to up my meds on my own if the seizures kept happening after a week. I don't know if I feel good about doing that, nevertheless I'm up to 2000mg of keppra daily starting Sunday.
Does anyone else get really fatigued or have headaches after simple partials?
I'm trying to figure out if maybe I had a seizure in my sleep.

Awww...keep the faith honey, this WILL get worked out.
Good Luck to you.
BTW, I wasn't sleeping at night (I think I was having seizures all night) and I would wake up w/ headaches all the time. A couple Benedryl before bedtime really helped. Maybe that's an option for you...?
Take care,
Sam

Hi Dawn Thank you. I am on 2000mg right now. I have my fingers crossed that my neuro will take me off it. I am going to insist that he look more into it. Nothing apparently showed up on the short (20 min) EEG or on the MRI (except a small brain cyst and cyst in each of the left and right nasal sinuses). I don't want to push too hard, but at the same time I am getting so much worse. I want this to end. I remember what it felt like to feel well. I want to feel well again.
