Does Brain Spasms Caused By Epilepsy Lead To Severe Nausea?
2005 had a traumatic brain injury at work… took 81/2 yrs. for a diagnosis from a psychiatrist to say 'epilepsy'. Doctors from hospitals such as Johns Hopkins… St. Luke's… NYU… never had a clue. My story remained the same with various symptoms but one in particular, I kept raising… 24/7 nausea, every moment! Sipping alcohol IMMEDIATELY stopped the nausea BUT it kept coming back! Doctors said I needed counseling, however on Depakote now, the nausea has stopped. The psychiatrist explained I was having brain spasms caused by epilepsy and this was past of typical 'auras'! Is this correct?? The medicine works!
