I'd like to start a thread here to share information, articles, cases, facts and studies on Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Having recently found out I have it and suffered severly from it I would really like to raise awareness on the topic. If you have/ are suffering from TLE or know of a personal...

Hi, my name is Tyler, I'm 21 and I'm new to the forum. I was diagnosed with complex partial TLE over two years ago and am considered refractory. I have on average about 15-25 seizures a month. I've had two 15 min EEG's, a 3 hour EEG, and an overnight EEG with one abnormality on one of the test...

I have TLE, I guess it is a mild form, although diabolic. Mostly short strong flashbacks, or Déjà vus, where any memory from my life is coupled with strong anxiety, even happy memories are tinted sometimes. It only last for a few seconds each time, but it always gets me when I'm down. It's...

Hello everyone! I'm Laura. I'm 29 years old, from Boise, Idaho, and have been having issues with temporal lobe epilepsy since I was 17. Yesterday morning I had a simple partial seizure followed an hour later by a complex partial seizure. Both seizures presented normally for me --the simple...

Hello. My name is Hannah and I'm an eplieptic. I was diagnosed with TLE when I was five and I imagine I've had every kind of seizure there is at least once. I've been off and on different medications almost the whole time since my diagnosis, but luckily, a few years ago, my neurologist started...

Hi Team! I have found your articles very helpful in exploring some issues I've been having lately. However, as you know seizures can be caused by so many factors I'm having a hard time sorting it all out. My Doctor as well has not been very helpful or seamed to want to look into things past the...

MRI results finally Finally! Was at an apt. with my GP and fished for info (I see the neurologist on Monday, but I've been waiting two months and couldn't last any longer!). He said they found that they found my pituitary gland is enlarged, and I'm pretty certain he said adenoma but wouldn't...

Hi I feel very nervous as I imagine you all must get fed up of people like me, but I feel very scared and alone and could really do with some support if you have a few moments of your time. I am not diagnosed but am being tested for Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. I have had an MRI (normal) and an EEG...

Anybody here with both types of seizures and how do you tell the difference?I read that pnes is a response to stress but does that mean it occurs at a stressful time or a day or week or month later.These new ones are like simple partials and Ive been under way more stress before and they turn on...

Last year when my nocturnal seizures were uncontrolled, I was waking up gasping, sitting up and throwing my arms forward (as if returning from death), and very restless. We seemed to have those under control. Recently something a bit different has been happening. I'm waking during the night...

Hello from the Sonoran Desert, USA... It's wonderful to find this forum. I was diagnosed with left temporal lobe seizures 4 weeks ago. The cause is believed to be a mild stroke a month before that, but that's just a theory as the MRI & MRA didn't show specific damage. Right now I'm on Depakote...

Hi, I'm new here, and don't yet have a confirmed diagnosis. A pocket history... 10 months ago at the start of a 9 wk migraine, I had an episode of aphasia and dysphasia. When I eventually told my doctor (3 wks later) he sent me to hospital as a suspect TIA, they ran a CT and found temporal...

My sister-in-law told me she has been getting dizzy spells for years now. She said she just suddenly gets dizzy sometimes. The spells don't last very much longer than 15-20 seconds usually, but they've been getting longer and--as far as I know--farther in between recently. She got them checked...
