Hi summerworkman81,
Welcome to the forum! Darlene gave you some excellent info. I've had epilepsy for 40 yrs. and before my sz. started I had wicked migraine headaches then after they started the sz. started up. It's up to you but I would turn the neuro you saw into the medical conduct board in your area. I've had to do that with a neuro I've seen in the past that messed me up really good giving me sz. med then refusing to do blood tests on me to find that I almost bleed to death from the med.
Keep track of the weather sometimes a low pressure in the weather can cause sz. or migraine headaches even if the bad weather isnt' supposed to hit for a couple of days. I also found out that some people can be cell phone sensitive which means if you or others around you are using a cell phone it can trigger a sz. and that's because of the frequency the cell phone uses. I found out that it causes me to have sz. and when I go to the stores I have to be very careful that I'm not around people using their phone.
Feel free to ask any questions any time. I will tell you hormones changing can trigger sz. for some people. I started cold water therapy and that has helped reduce my sz. a lot. If I feel a sz. coming on or a migraine headache I put a cold washcloth on my face and neck 3 times a day or more and this stops the sz. and headache because it's calming the neurons down in the brain. Wishing you only the best and May God Bless You!
Sue
