Finally in 1991 I had a massive grand mal seizure and was diagnosed as having epilepsy (and later migraine headaches) with partial complex seizures.
In 2005 it was finally discovered that the seizures were caused by a brain tumor (!) and it was removed in 2006 - another surgery 2007 stopped the seizures but not the migraines.

I've seen a lot of neuros, a lot of all sorts of doctors and not one has had anything to say about migraines or offered any hope of stopping them.

A brain tumor is no big deal but a migraine is.
