Hi, first of all I want people to know.. that since rest and having been on lamictal almost a week now, and with a great epileptologist.
When I saw her on wednesday she wasnt sure whether I had to be admitted until the EEG only showed a few seizures (thank goodness she didnt do the strobe lights)
My Photosensitivity didnt start until march, where I ended up at the ER from playing video games... right side jerking...
Anyway I got better on lamictal, but had to withdraw it due to cost ( I now have help with that and been put on it with new neurologist)
I need to ask her these questions when I see her friday, the first time I was too sick, my memory was terrible, she said I was asking the same queston over and over again.
So, Im wondering if the residue I have left, are auras, or seizures. I have no more big jerks however ...I do still have some tingling when under flurescent lights and especially really bad nausea, and I feel little electircal pin pricks, and I do have a few twitches on my face or arms... in random places.
Does anyone know if all these symptoms are auras, and if any of them are actual seizures. I am still learning about all this. Last year I was diagnosed with TLE but now the new findings have found frontol lobe seizures also.
my TLE experiences last year (and i sometimes do get them) are completly different than these. My TLE symptoms include psychic stuff, stomach feeling like its jumping, feeling like Im coming out of my body, like im everywhere and seeing everything more colorful.
Please help me understand if these pin pricks and stuff and little twitches and electrical sensations, nausea are seizures or auras, or possible both.
thanks
