Hope,
My migraines were not after a sz but about every 2 weeks when I was married.
I haven't had a headache for over 37 years. I've been divorced that long.
I found that the sooner I emptied my stomach -- the sooner my headache would
be over. I too went upstairs where there wasn't so much noise and food smells
and slept until it was over.
I found nothing that would help. If I was working or needed to be some place I
would take aspirin-- but I always had to have the headache.

Subject: Re: [epilepsy] Headache post seizure
I think those post seizure headaches have just got to be the worst ever. Sometimes not even a aspirin of any
form or type will fix them. They are just part of the seizure. The only thing I can do is try a pill, go in a
dark room, and the least bit of noise in the house possible. Even a pin drop could seem like a bomb
explosion. I do know for myself that taking to many of the same kind of pain meds they can then begin not to
work at all any more so do try and keep at minimum. Try an ice pack on the forehead also.
Just go to sleep then and sleep it off. When I have a bad one I know for sure I have to sleep the whole day
away.
I did mention mine to my neurologist and he was about to give me something for them, but refused as knew it
would only be another AED that would have to eventually get off of.
Best of luck Doris and just try things like that to ease them.
