> How suggestive of TLE is scale illusions (like does having them mean almost definitely, or just a possibility)? Zo said her TLE didn't show up on an EEG, so I'm thinking of not even getting one, as she said it's fairly common that TLE doesn't show up. I get those scale illusions maybe a few times a month (I'll be lying in bed, feeling "weird" and feel like my bed is humungous and I'm really small, then a few seconds later my head will feel huge and my bed will feel small. IT alternates between the two, and i KNOW it's not REALLY happening, but it's sort of the sensation of it. It's hard to articulate, but your post sounds like what I get.) Does forgeting the meaning of words while on no meds suggest anything? I ask because as I posted this I had to change a sentence because I wasn't sure what "clench" meant. Just thought I'd ask heh.


Wow, what a trip! There is something to the forgetting meaning of words. I have that too at times. I remember when it was worse (before Neurontin-Depakote, etc.) and I could see a very common word or hear a very common word and repeat it consciously or unconsciously to myself and it would turn into some kind of meaningless mantra of sorts! It was like-is this English?? I have a theory that it may not necessarily be *seizures* or even *auras*, I wonder if it is an *interruption* of the connection between the left and right hemispheres of some kind. Because, when this happens everything is visual, tactile, etc. but the VERBAL *senses* just get all messed up. It is kind of like looking at a word and expecting it to be a picture of sorts. Don't know-it is weird for sure... I don't think it is just plain old "depersonalization" or "derealization". Don't know...
