I deal with seven to 10 chronic migraines a month, I honestly don't want to know what my absence seizures look like - that's for a specialist to look at in my honest opinion.

Absolutely I’ve had Grandmas’s leave me with awful headaches bad enough they will have me crying. OMG it’s horrendous when they hit me.

Before my first craniotomy, I would have migraine like headaches after I come out of my seizure. Probably some of the most painful headaches I've ever had.

After craniotomy number two, my seizures would affect my ability to talk and sometimes make me completely mute for a brief few seconds. My headaches aren't as bad but they are there before and after my seizures.
