The most relevant imoirnatofn in Module 10 I found useful to me was migraine headaches and the part about epilepsy. I thought where the book mention migraine headaches where most common in women than men to be interesting. I have had migraine headaches since I was about 12 years old. As I have gotten older I don’t have them as much but still tend to get them. My symptoms include throbbing pain on my left side of my head and sensitivity to light and noise. The book states the symptoms can be throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head plus sensitivity to light and noise or certain odors. I know sometimes if I have a migraine headache and trying to cook meats it tends to make me feel nausea. I use to keep a log of when I got migraines and what I was doing when I felt it coming on. As stated in Module 10 there is no specific causes for migraines. Bed rest and sleep in a dark, quiet room seems to benefit most migraine suffers. I know when I get a migraine I can go to my room sit in the dark and it seems to relieve it some. Prescription drugs like opioids, codeine, and mependine are often effective in relieving a migraine.Epilepsy is a group of uncontrolled cerebral discharges that recurs at random intervals. My son was dx with epilepsy at age 5. It was a little scary when he had his first seizure. My uncle use to have seizures but I wasn’t around him much so to actually witness one it was scary. I remember it last it was yesterday and he is 9 years old now. I went into panic mode it was 3:00am in the morning and I tried calling 911 and it was busy. We ended up driving him to BACH ourselves, I know not a smart move we lived right down the street from BACH at that time. I thought it was interesting when in Module 10 it states epilepsy can be acquired as a result of injury to the brain, including birth trauma and or depressed skull fracture. That day when my son had his first seizure it was a normal day for him, but at school he had collide heads with another child I always wonder if that was what triggered it. Epilepsy is controllable and affects 0.5% to 2% of the U.S. population at an incidence rate of about 181,000 per year. My son’s condition is controlled by medicine (Tegretol) which took some time trying to get the right dosage for him. His usually don’t last more than 2-3 minutes. As stated in the text, he usually loses control of his urinary bladder afterwards. Diagnosis of epilepsy can be made on the results of an EEG.
