I am 17 years old and have had migraine headaches for about 5 or 6 years now. I started getting my seizures in May it was very scary and confusing! I also miss a lot of school because of these headaces and when i do go to school it is very hard to consentrate! I don't know if any of you other girls have your period when you get a seizure i usually do! Now My Dr. has to try to figure out if that is why i am having these seizures. She also might think that my migraines are a trigger for the seizures! So we have to discuss this more with the Dr. when i see her next. I hve been sad latey, just because of how many migaine headaches i get and the seizures. so i just need so one to talk to about all of this stuff going on in my life!

I am 35 and have my first TC Seizure about three weeks ago. Following I've had several partial seizures. Ever since the seizures started, I have had an ongoing headache which usually turns into a migraine by bedtime. It's horrible and my life doesn't feel my own. I had a near fatal car accident two years ago, so mine (I am gathering) are from serious head trauma. I am all new at this, but I can definitely relate to the migraines. Your son is lucky to have a mom that cares like you. Hang in there.
