Just my opinion, but I think that Migraines and Seizures and MS are all related!

I have had severe migraines since I was a kid, and periods of zoning out with a blank stare for years.....I had seen a neurologist for years for the migraines, NEVER had a MRI or a complete neuro examination.

I began to have blurry and double vision and losing my balance, and again my neuro said all was to do with the migraines. This is when I got a second opinion with a different Neuro.

At my initial eval, and the most thorough neurological work up, he told me, even without an MRI, that he was pretty sure it was MS or spinal cord compression.....just from the clinical exam. I had an MRI, that showed about 10 small lesions.

He said, the MRI lesions were not necessarily typical MS lesions, but having them along with my very abnormal neuro exam confirmed MS as a dx. An abnormal EEG showing spikes, confirmed seizures.

I hope you find a good neuro that can help you!
