Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Basics-short

All about Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, the types of seizures that are common, the difficulties with diagnosing, and the psychiatric problems that often go along with TLE.

I was diagnosed 6 years ago it took so long to find out it was temporal lobe epilepsy I thought I was going mad, it’s good to hear other people’s stories, you have really made me feel less alone and weird thanks

Very interesting. I had tls for many years which tended to follow the pattern of de ja vue, rush of fear, auditory hallucinations, loss of awareness.

Thanks for sharing this Ariel I was recently diagnosed with seizures as well after 13 years of being diagnosed and told I was having panic attacks. I'd get that Deja Vu feeling like a snap of the fingers everything was more clear and vibrant for a second and then it would be that feeling of tipping too far back in chair and catching yourself at the last second flooded with adrenaline and roaring emotions ripping through my body. I've been put on Keppra and having a hard time dealing with the side effects but it's better than what I was going through before.

thanks you so much for this. I got diagnosed with this last year, and even after diagnosis I struggle to believe I have it because I don't have the 'tonic clonic ' part. it made me feel like I was deceiving someone, saying I have epilepsy (even though my behaviours are really bad). if searched on YouTube for ages for a video that addresses my type of seizures, but none of them talked about this. hearing someone say it in a video really makes me be more at peace with my diagnosis and not feel so alone. my psych gave me the diagnosis, but he didn't describe like you do to make sure I actually understand, all I really heard was 'epilepsy'. For months I had been passed off as having psychosis, at one point I was put in a high security unit for schizophrenics. it means so much to hear someone tell me im right, not crazy. im on meds and its the best I've felt in 10 years.

I have deja vu every day. I think I might have simple partial seizures

I've had Temporal Lobe Epilepsy for years and I learned somethings from you that I never knew. Thanks

[Leandru]

You explained the types of seizures better than any doctor I have heard so far. The fact that you experienced them must be why. Thank you.

Having just been diagnosed with TLE. I get a lovely aura of coffee and then within a minute, I have a full tonic-clonic seizure. It took 4 doctors to actually get someone to listen to me. It's been so frustrating but it's been nice to have a name to it. I've run into a lot of people say that I'm not really an epileptic that I am just trying to get attention. This video helped me a lot in understanding what's going on and what I've been diagnosed with.

I applaud you for sharing about your life. I do not suffer from seizures or Epilepsy but I am impressed with the detail of the information you are sharing. Thank you for your transparency and courage.

[Hamptojd]

Secondary Generalization - Thank you so much for these words!

I am so glad I found your channel! I was dx with TLE just 2 months ago...but the more I learn about it...it goes hand in hand with my "psychiatric" labels. Thank you...it has made me rethink everything. I am beginning to think that I have had TLE for years!

[whynot]

u explained it so well!!! i suffer from it... it's scary and hell... I'm on medications for 4 mounts ... didn't get a seziure thanks god...

[INTOASECRETLAND]

I have it...and with it...memory loss, confusion, deafness..mood changes and traits very similar to autism...

[brianagraham-ramos]

Thanks so much for this video. I also have partial complex seizures in my left temporal lobe and can relate to much of what you said. I get very self conscious when I have a seizure/aura, but after I am fine telling anyone what just happened.

[portoesdacidade]

I'm 15yo and I have a weird feeling sometimes, it's like a deja vu, a memory invades my brain and when I try to remember it quickly disappears, it happens out of nowhere, I also have a feeling of being spinning around myself. I don't know what to do because those memories and the feeling is so good and real, but at the same time I don't want to hide it through a spiritual explanation and pretend that nothing happened lol.

[abolresh]
