TBI, epilepsy, complicated migraines, and Strokes

Hi, I'm 32, and was the victim of assault in early 2010.  I just got diagnosed with complicated migraines, and partial complex seizures.  I am wondering why my doctor didn't diagnose epilepsy... he has referred me to an epileptologist with an abnormal EEG.  In the assault, I received a very hard blow to the head, which has affected my right temporal lobe.  I have been in intense pain for over a year, now.  With all of the referrals, it seems I never get a comprehensive diagnosis, or prediction for healing.  I am also in terror of having a stroke... I may have had a few mild strokes since my attack.  Are there any first aid things I can do, like take asprin, if I'm afraid I'm having a stroke?  Also, I've had two brain MRIs, will a TBI specialist be more apt to find the cause of my symptoms than an MS Neurologist (we thought at the time it was MS because of the numbness issues.)

Also, if I'm having seizures, is this possibly epilepsy?  I've been referred from a Neurologist to a TBI specialist and Epileptologist.

Thank you for any insight!

I'm sorry to hear about the assault and everything--
How long after the assault did your seizures start?  Do you know how many you've had, and do they happen suddenly, without any particular cause?  Do the MRIs show any abnormalities/scarring?  If you have an abnormal EEG recording, you most likely have epilepsy, which is simply abnormal electrical activity (anyone can have a seizure, e.g. the side effect of a medication, but when a seizure happens suddenly, i.e. is unprovoked, and has occured more than once, it is very possible that you have epilepsy.)  When people begin having seizures in their late teens or later, it is usually the result of something like scarring from an injury, or a brain tumor.  
It's good you're seeing an epileptologist (epi)--I hope they take the time to help answer your questions. Sometimes poeple, even docs, keep using the word "seizure" instead of "epilepsy."  Kind of a stigma issue, which really *****.  I don't know why they didn't just say you have epilepsy.  
Also, if you're not happy with the results of your initial visits, and you feel your questions are not answered, look for another epi.   Sometimes they are so focused on simply asking you about seizures/symptoms alone that they forget you are a human being.

In any case, wish you the best--
