I have yet to find one brain aneurysm survivor who is or has experience seizures, aura's or anything similar. If nothing else, it would atleast be confirmation for me. It would make me feel that less crazy.

You're not crazy, and you're not alone: I have a friend who had an aneurysm with a resulting seizure, and is now on anti-seizure meds.
 
thanks Nakamova, That help me so much. It eases my mind and gives me a little more strength to deal with this. This is why I come here. I cant get anyone to listen let alone support me. I dont feel the dr has exhausted every avenue to diagnose me. I don't know what he is waiting for. Maybe he is waiting for a gran mal seizure from me before taking action. When I see him, I am going to insist that his conclusion, prognosis, diagnosis or what ever it may be called be given to me in writing.
 
Yes, it's exhausting but important to be persistent with the docs. Keep pushing for answers. And if this on can't help you, find one who can.
 
I had seizures as a child, but parents didn't know how to deal with it. Anyway I was diagnosed when I was 19 years old --I'm 60 now.

I have Temporal Lobe of the right side, I have simple partials seizures that start out with deja vu
