Hi everyone!
The Epileptologist found abnormal brain activity in my left temporal lobe on my recent EEG. I forgot to ask what else, apart from epilepsy could cause this abnormality. So I googled it; ADD, Skitzophrenia, Dyslexia, brain trauma, brain tumours and deprived oxygen at birth, infections etc. I did get stuck in the birth canal and had to be pulled back out again and delivered via emergency ceaser. I also had a 2hour febrile seizure as a baby so that could have been caused by an infection I guess. I'm hesitant to self diagnosis but my research is always Doctor reviewed or scientific academic journals. It sounds like a duck, looks like a duck, quacks like a duck so I doubt its a goose! Bring on that VEEG.
Here's a cool video I found for the newbies to epilepsy...
