Hi, before you all read on, this could be considered R rated, not sure what hte guidelines are here on that.. just to let you know.
I saw my Neuro today and it went well. She was extremly caring given what Ive been through since I last saw her.
Good news is .. she is in great contact with psych UCLA now...so they are collobariting as a team together (for the time until i know whats happening there) as meds overlap for mood and epilepsy.
I am doing better than the other week, which is good.
We spoke about alot of things together and how she is happy with this psych at UCLA as he knows alot (she told me) about TLE which is awesome for a psychiatrist.
SO..
I explained to her I read an article a while ago about hypersexuality and TLE. For a while now I have been extremly hypersexual (very embarassing) and esepcially after being in status epilepticus. Its actually that bad that it interferes with my work because its *something* I cannot get off my mind.
We didnt get into discussing a solution .. and not sure if there was one as time was running out (had been in ther ean hour) and she needed to quickly type up notes.
Was wondering if anyone else has had.. or has this problem...and what they did for it .. apart from getting married LOL (joke)
ALso explained how Ive become obsessed with religion over the years...its actually crazy, all I do in my spare time if Im not thinking about... that ..hypersuxuality is sit in the hammock and think about the universe, god, theology, philosophy. Usually when you read about a disorder you think.. oh wow im like that.. everyone does....but this is to a ridiculous extent.. a RIDICULOUS extent.. I mean TLE describes me to a *T*..I have Bipolar also, but when I read about bipolar I dont relate to it as much as I relate to this diagnosis.
We discussed reflex epilepsy, she is not sure if I have it.. since its rare.. but I think I do... she also said the seizures i have when around alot of conversation or stimulation might not be reflex epilepsy .. but the stress of being around so much .. triggering them instead, and that psych department will be able to help me with this part.
We always get talking alt during my app, she spends alot of time with her patients, and she told me some of the worlds greatest thinkers have TLE!
