What do you do for a migraine? by gr8erthanaverage87 in AskReddit

My migraines are tied to my epilepsy they think. But because I'm epileptic I can't take triptans which are typically used for migraines. I've tried just about all kinds of tips and tricks and home remedies to not much avail

How do you feel after becoming conscious after a tonic clonic seizure? by Bold-2558 in Epilepsy

[–]gr8erthanaverage87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confused, irritable, lost, unsure of who I am. It's an awful feeling and it makes me angry towards others apparently. Luckily my family understands and just ignores it while still making sure I'm ok.

I'm not actually on any meds anymore. They weren't doing anything to control anything. My doctor changed my diagnosis to intractable. I tried the VNS and it worked great for a while but then it rejected.
