my migraines are always worse after going through a grandmal seizure
i started having grandmal seizures at 23 and started with migraines
at 29 but they think I might of have mini seizures before that they
also think the two go together some of the things I go through with a
migraine are simliar to what I go through after a seizure yes it is
very simlar for me too a migraine or a grandmal and it can be the
effects of a grandmal or a migraine just really not that much
different but I take it one day at a time. thanks for joining Mary
