Where a person's seizures come from may have a lot to do with the type of difficulties people have - talk to the doctor about what they mean in your situation. For example, left side of the brain is most often involved in language so language based problems, are not unusual.
I like the idea of putting spell check on the site. I have no idea if possible, but I'll forward it along!
Take care,

I have left posterial temporal lobe partial complex seizures. And yes I know that I spelled the p word wrong but there is no spell check on here & perhaps someone should sugget that for all of us that seem to be having memory problems. Spelling was always my strong point now when my husband asks me I have to scribble on paper & I might get it right(might). I have no short term memory,I have speach problems, I constantly say the wrong word (usually @ a very embarassing time), I have difficulty with word finding, and recently I seem to have become dyslexic when typing or writing??The failed memory I blame on years of benzodiazoines (valium, xanax, clonazopin/klonopin ect...)they are amnesices and they do their job well. The speach & word problems, or lack or finding the right word Ithink my be part of the seizure process but I don't know for sure (but I had the problems before I took medication. The dyslexia thing is slowly driving me mad...It takes so long to type anything because I usually don't catch it the first time I reread it and I think it has to do with the Topamax only because I never had it before then. I couldn't even begin to tell you off all the things that I have lost or all the wasted time I have spent trying to find them. The worst of all is when I put something somewhere special where I won't forget "it" then guess what happens when I need "it"... Exactly I forgot where I put it and I spend days (weeks)searching for "it". Thankfully I put it where I'd remember or it would be lost. :-)
