Hi Alex,
The best advice I can give is to see an epileptologist to have more thorough testing done- EEG's really don't tell much. My specialist wanted me in the hospital for a week so they could hook me up with naso-pharyngeal (sp) leads for an EEG and keep visual observations. I've had seizures in the past, am diagnosed DD- NOS which often mimics TLE and also bipolar and panic disorders. These all involve kindling so nothing is clearcut- the key is to be treated with the correct medication and therapy to stop symptoms. I say therapy because some of my dissociative experiences are a result of abuse. I've had PET and MRI scans that show a smaller left hippocampus, so there is organic problems too. Just make sure your neuro and shrink are communicating with each other and I'm sure you'll start to find answers. Take care, Judy
