I have TLE. . .and can tell you that taste and smell "hallucinations" are common forms of temporal lobe seizure. . . .as is photosensitivity, I mean, common to TLE tho an uncommon form of it. .. .
And that Bipolar and TLE have a tremendous overlap, both depend on something called Kindling to set off the electrial storm in the brain, which is why anticonvulsant meds help with Bipolar and vice versa. . .Things like Neurontin kill two birds with one stone.
Fascinating thread!
