This also means that I have Complex Migraines which means that I already have vision loss, weakness and or paralysis of one side, inablity to talk and sometimes find words, as well as memory loss. The altered status usually appearce at this point, and even though I seem functional, I look spacey, drunk, stumbling, and often obnoxious, or have the mental status of a young child. I have come to learn to live with these severe migraines, but this last weekend, I had a seizure with one of my migraines.  Has anyone else this? I would love any info that anyone has.  |
I realize you posted this quite awhile ago. But that's exactly what i do down to throwing the temper tantrums - when I have a complex migraine. Only I have NO head pain with these migraines. I do have an "aura" I guess (hubby says he can tell when their coming) where I get super .. almost a manic state both in mind and body. I cannot stay still and flutter from one activity to another.
Though I did see in a later post that they have you taking Ultram.. thats a medication well known for lowering the seizure threshold ... I didn't have my first grand mal seizure until after my pain management doc put me on ultram and robaxin at the same time. They thought it might be due to the two meds being given together, but even with just the ultram I still had grand mal seizures.
I am curious as to how you are doing now?
