Since I was seven years old I have had disabling migraines. I have bipolar disorder and when the strongest "attacks" occur I feel entirely out of control. To me, that feeling is a "mood seizure." I definitely have symptoms of fibromyalgia (and have considered the possibility that I have fibro, altogether). Anyway...yes.
Oh - and I saw a neurologist, years ago - highly perceptive and intelligent man. He told me that his belief was that bipolar disorder is a type of seizure disorder.

Hi summerfields,
Welcome to the Bipolar Forum of PC!
I hope you find the information and the support you may be seeking.
You might find the work by Oliver Sacks quite interesting. He authored a book entitled,
Migraine. It is a very detailed book and is not for everyone. (It is available on Amazon in paperback).
I am glad you have jumped in here!
Please do make yourself at home.
I hope to see you around the forums.
