Has Anyone Experienced Migraines Before An Epilepsy Diagnosis?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Liberty, SC

i had severe migraines from puberty until my late 30's when they gradually went away. I still have ocular migraines but those i can live with. in my 50's i had a motorbike accident that i was told was the result of a seizure. (i have never remembered any part of the wreck.) it's quite possible that i had epilepsy before then but was never diagnosed.

I've suffered from migraines my whole life since I was a baby. I also suffer from Hydrocephalus or better know as, a baby with water on their brain. Didn't start having seizures however until I was 27 yrs old. I'm 50 now. Have trouble remembering the small things, like what day it is, or how old I am.

Yes and that is a string indicator that a seizure will pop up on me. Since I live alone I have what I call a seizure room. I will lay on the floor and sleep. I don’t remember anything afterwards if I do have a seizure. One thing is for sure my body hurts like hell and I am hungry.
