Re: [epilepsy] headaches and clenching teeth



Uhura,

I used to have migraine headaches but don't anymore -- but
I never associated it with EP.

I suggest you keep a diary of when you have a sz, when you take
your meds and whatever you take for headache, when you grind your
teeth how long your headache lasts, etc

Maybe you need to change your meds but if you have a diary like I
suggested it might be help your Dr.
