Headaches are coming back...!!! - Epilepsy Message Board

Hello everybody!

Just wanted to give you all an update!

Five weeks before my wedding I went off of my med (with doctor's permission) due to some unwanted side effects (mainly a rash on my shoulder and a skipped period).

Anyway, the rash cleared up and I had a fab wedding and honeymoon...no problems at all!

However within the last few days I've been getting excruciating headaches again. Right before I started my epilepsy med last time I was getting horrible headaches which my doc said was due to "seizure activity". To me these headaches mean the return to Tegretrol and seizures.

I'm not too upset I suppose. My wedding day and honeymoon were fantastic and seizure free. I'll be calling my doc in the AM to set up an appointment. He said at my last appointment that he'll be starting me on a low dose of Tegretol XR again when I was ready. I'll keep you all updated!

Take care everybody!

Nic

Hey Girl! I am really sorry to hear about you headaches! I sure hope you Doc can get you started up on your meds again before you have another seizure. Hopefully the headaches you are having now are not actually seizure activity, but just really a bad headache!
So how is the married life? I have not talked to you in a while & have missed ya!
I hope besides the headaches all else is well! keep me posted!
