Migraines as a teenager.
Tue, 08/11/2015 - 02:57I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 18. I had infrequent tonic clinic seizures and myoclonic seizures. I'm lucky to be seizure free for a few years now. I've been doing some research about migraines and epilepsy. From about age 14-18, I suffered from severe migraines preferred by an aura. I would get visual distortions and spots in the center of my vision. It was accompanied by odd sensations. After about 15-20 minutes, I would have a head-slitting headache. When I began having seizures, I not longer had these migraines. Anyone have a similar experience?
