Hi there! I'm new on this support group. Was only recently prognosed with temporal lobe epilepsy and I'm awaiting EEG results but after reading the symptoms just now I have to say that it describes the past few months very well.

I think the main thing that effects me is when i get too stressed i end up getting very confused, not being able to get my words out quick enough, cant do maths etc.
However, i only have a main problem when i cant understand other people. I have only had 2 (touch wood) grand mals but that was bad enough Hope everything goes well x
