Old guy here (a month away from Medicare! ugh!) I wonder what that will do for my meds.
The first seizure (Temporl Lobe) I remember was in second grade. Dissociation, white noice, a steady ringing on high B-flat (almost sixty years' worth now). But I wasn't diagnosed until I was 38. So I've been taking Tegretol for 26 years. What does that do to the body?
Anyway, I lead a pretty normal life except for these really uncomfortable (once in awhile) seizures, and such quirks as hypergraphia (see my blog if you don't belive me---today's has a description of a seizure).
I don't know (never have) one other person in person who has TLE, so I keep trying to find friends, people I don't have to describe the electrical storms in my brain to.
I thought I'd found all the epilepsy sites, but this one seems like it's actually up and running and interesting.
Thanks for letting me join. (I'm also bipolar, by the way)
