Yep, I am aware of this. I have been procrastinating about seeing a neuro again. I saw one once and the standard EEG was normal. He was a behavioural neurologist and he was still convinced there was *something* going on there-if not temporal, then frontal lobe seizure activity. He wanted more tests, but I couldn't afford them at the time-so given my reluctance and skepticism about further tests (at the time)-he diagnosed me as "atypical bipolar", and that was it.
Yesterday, just before I went to work I had an intense paresthesia (or numbness)that went all the way from my forehead to my chin-my entire face had practically no feeling! I also starting feeling this "detached" feeling from reality again. Man, it gave me the creeps! It could have been my meds I don't know-but the more I talk here and hear stuff about weird symptoms the more I am inclined to believe the seizure stuff.
