I am new here. I was diagnosed with TLE, EEG showed abnormal activity in both lobes 6yrs ago, I have never lost consciousness while having a seizure yet my Neuro tells me I have Complex partials. I first became worried because I knew something was wrong with me ie. I was having trouble forming words , remembering things and would as I describe it "vacate my surroundings" for brief periods of time, this all resulted in me having terrible panic attacks when I was with people and I did my best to avoid prolonged contact. I was seizure free from 06/2006 til 12/2010 I still don't feel like I am having "real" seizures because most of the time all my seizures consist of is forgetting to do something, like sitting down to have a cup of coffee and when going to drink it realizing that I've put everything into the cup except the coffee, when this happened 3 times in one week I new my seizures had returned. Most of the time I don't even know that I'm have a seizure. I am afraid to cook when I am in the house on my own for fear of leaving a pan on the hob which I done a few time. I do have problem with my speech I can hear the words in my head, see them in my mind but can't get them out of my mouth or have difficulty with pronunciation. Now at night when I go to bed I am getting shivers like a clod breeze blowing over me is it possible that my seizures are changing and I am now have nocturnal ones???? Am feeling really isolated as I live in small country village with very bad public transport, also feel a terrible loss of independence Any advice welcome. Thanks Anne
