I had a long history of headaches before I was diagnosed w Temporal lobe epilepsey at age 38! I also had slow waves and what they call 'absence' seizures, prior to that had done many things w/out remembering them. Had alters who would talk through me. Once I got on the right epilepsey meds.... all this stopped. Including (yeah!) the headaches. I take Topomax a very small dose and it also helps me loose weight. Ask about absence seizures... they are not petite mal...but hey are a recognize Neuro dx.
