migraines ... today's migraine came after the seizure. feels like ice pick running diagnally thru my brain, and left side of scalp has a burning sensation as well.
i took up running in my late 40's 53yrs young now, it helps lessen the migraine pain considerably.eat more fish omega 3s help too.before i ran oxycontin,imetrex barely took the edge off from the pain,it made me vomit.brain freeze may help you too,drink something cold,put an ice cube in your mouth or eat ice cream and see if it stops the searing pain.
and like joe wrote document it for your doc the better info the more help they may provide. this site has stuff, the epilepsy foundation has text for control to help document seizure events and meds it even graphs it for you, apple has iCal.

I think I understand what you are saying and questioning.
Not all seizures are teh same. There are a number of people here that have say absence seizures.the seizures may be the same type but they are different to everybody.
I sugggest you get the My Epilepsy Diary and note your events such as the spiking head aches your seizures. Loss of memory
Understand too that if you have a seizure where you black out the time you are out will have no information in it and that loss is like a space in time with no input. The diary can be sent to your doctr or downloaded and printed so it can be carried to him/her. It will help because the more information the you and your doctor can work with.
