Before my surgery I used to get a lot of headaches which I think were a combination of seizures & possibly not sleeping properly.
After I had the surgery my headaches reduced a fair bit & I didn't get them as often as I used to.
Well for the last few months I have been getting headaches more regularly, I probably get about 2 mild headaches a week which I can soon get rid of with panadol & a really bad headache maybe once a week or once a fortnight.
We are in the middle of our summer here so I think a lot of the headaches are from the really hot days we had in January. I woke on Friday with a real bad headache, I took some panadol at breakfast which helped ease of the headache but felt crap for the rest of the day (I hadn't felt that crap for about 3 weeks). I had a bad sleep on Thursday night so think that is why I felt so crap on Friday.
I'm not to concerned about my headaches but one of my best friends & my Dad are both concerned about the headaches & think I should tell my neurologist. I don't think my headaches are epilepsy related so don't think my neurologist needs to know but my friend & Dad told me I should still tell my neuro & it is up to him to decide why I'm getting the headaches & if it is important.
Usually if I have nay concerns I email either my neuropsych or epilepsy nurse & they will advice me on what I should do or pass on any of my concerns to my neurologist. To put my friends & Dads minds at ease I emailed my neuropsych on Saturday to let her know about the headaches & see if I should tell the neurologist about the headches when I see him next month. The neuropsych only works during the weekday so I am expecting to get an email back from her on Monday or whenever she gets some spare time.
So I was wondering even though my headaches are more regular but I am sure the headaches are nothing to do with my epilepsy does my neurologist need to know?
