Are my other neurological issues related to my epilepsy at all?

I have no insurance and my primary care will hardly see me because of it, he tried referring me to a neurologist but he also won't see me with out insurance or money up front that I do not have. I am curious if anyone else has problems like nerve damage, headaches/migranes, pressure feeling in the back of head, pain in temples, vision and concentration/memory problems, chronic pain/fatigue/weakness, muscles spasms all over randomly, neck pain and stiffness, and burning or shocking sensation going down the back of neck to spine, pressure feelings sometimes shocking sharp pains in chest and in lower ribcages. I'm also suffering with nausea almost daily, loss of appetite, and weightloss, excessive sweating and night sweats but a lot of the times i have chills, also have noticed its becoming more difficult to swallow than usual. Anyone that can let me know if any of these are related to epilepsy. or what else could be going on. As soon as I can get accepted for medicaid I can see my doctor and neurologist

Could these problems occur after suffering many seizures?

Unfortunately I'm not pregnant and I've let my doctor know everything but the rib pains and he tried referring me to a neurologist who won't see me because I don't have insurance and can't pay. But ill be able to see him soon.

Some of what you put sounds like my first pregnancy and just my everyday life. I've had seizures since I was 11-12. The headaches, concentration/memory problems (I know that all too well), and a few others are the same symptoms I had. I had seizures throughout my pregnancy also but was only considered high risk in my last month. Everyone is different though. Just keep track of ur symptoms so when you can see the doctor you can tell him/her every thing. Good luck.

So no one else with epilepsy has similar problems? I guess it could be from something undiagnosed because I don't have insurance or money to be seen like I should:(
