I was just diagnosed with epilepsy in June, though I have had auras since I was in high school (I am 30 now). I had my first grand mal then, and I'm pretty sure I've been having them in my sleep? I'm definitely stressed and sleep deprived (and in the midst of the processual undergoing of finding the right anti-depressants), but I woke up the other morning and the side of my mouth was all bitten up and bleeding, and I couldn't remember anything from the day before (and I was not intoxicated or anything else like that). What other experiences with memory or memory loss have others had in relation to having epilepsy?
I have auras (mostly of the deja vu tendency) multiple times a day (and again, have since I was much younger), but ever since I had the grand mal, it's as if they have come back with more fervor -- they are longer, more intense, feel more...other worldly? I don't want to sound crazy, but does any one else feel this? Like there is something...more?...to these auras? It feels unnatural or reductive for me to just dismiss them as being neural misfirings.
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Again, I'm new here, haha so please don't balk at me too hard.
