A member asked:

What can you tell me about living with both parietal lobe epilepsy and hemiplegic migraines?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try prevention: There are medications which may help prevent both seizures and migraine headaches and two to consider are topirimate and depakote, both with fda indications. Some other anti-seizure meds maybe similarly useful. Your neurologist can help guide you.
