Answer 2

Thinking of seizures/muscles seizing ... the comments are designed to headaches but may effect what ever triggers them.
Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
Pain can be referred from places other than the head.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.

Answer 3

My friend's daughter has epilepsy and they put her on a very strict Atkins-type diet, only MORE strict if you can imagine! It sends the body into ketosis and worked very well for her.

There are many, many books on the topic. The diet is very time consuming though and includes practically 0 carbs. It does work.
