Epilepsy and Migraines?
Question : My wife has been suffering from migraines for a number of years and recently, maybe triggered by menopause and Covid, she is also now suffering from epilepsy and a lack of energy. Recently, we tried using your MigraSoothe products (triple pack) and we noticed an improvement in her energy levels, migraines, and unexpectedly, her epilepsy. Is there any correlation between the two conditions, or is this just a lucky coincidence? - Daniel F, North London."
Answer
We are sorry to hear that your wife is experiencing migraines, epilepsy, and lack of energy. As a scientific team for MigraSoothe, we understand how distressing this situation can be for both of you.
Migraines are a neurological condition that causes severe headache pain, often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light, and dizziness. Epilepsy, on the other hand, is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures or convulsions of varying frequency and severity.
While migraines and epilepsy are two distinct conditions, some research suggests a potential link between the two. For instance, a 2018 review published in "Epilepsia" found that individuals with migraines were more likely to have epilepsy, and vice versa. The authors also noted that the two conditions may share some common physiological mechanisms. Additionally, a 2015 study published in "Cephalalgia" found that individuals with epilepsy were more likely to experience migraines compared to individuals without epilepsy.
While we cannot currently determine if COVID-19 or menopause is the trigger for your wife's epilepsy, ongoing research in both areas may provide further insights in the future. As new evidence continues to emerge, it may be possible to better understand the potential connections between these factors and epilepsy. However, it is important to note that further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying the correlation between the two conditions. While these studies provide some insight into the relationship between migraines and epilepsy, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper medical care and treatment for both conditions.

Regarding the beneficial effects of MigraSoothe on your wife's migraines, epilepsy, and energy levels, there is anecdotal evidence from other MigraSoothe customers who have experienced similar benefits. While there is not enough scientific evidence to conclude that riboflavin, one of the key ingredients in MigraSoothe, is the sole reason for the improvement in your wife's symptoms, it is known to increase energy levels and has been shown in some studies to have a positive impact on epilepsy. Other ingredients in the product, such as feverfew and magnesium, are also known to have potential benefits for epilepsy.
In conclusion, it is important to seek professional medical care and treatment for both migraines and epilepsy. While MigraSoothe may provide relief, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for advice on managing these conditions.
