Hello Mary,

After every Grand Mal seizure that I have had, I have always had a severe
migraine due to a lack of oxygen. I have had Epilepsy all of my life,
but I have had a Chronic Migraine since the age of 27. At it's onset, I
did not know what was going on until my doctor told me, and then I could
fit the pieces together. It felt very similar to the effects after a
grand mal.
