Post traumatic epilepsy
Sun, 10/02/2011 - 17:41I suffered a closed head injury (concussion) about 2 months ago. I did not go to the hospital as I was in Europe. Two weeks later I arrived home and had an EEG which showed slowing in my left temporal lobe. An MRI was negative. A recent 72 hour EEG again showed slowing in the left temporal lobe but not spikes. I sometimes have and odd memory or will hear a song but that is all. At night, before I fall asleep, I feel all confused and sometimes forget what I am thinking about. Does any one else only experience these symptoms? I am very scared. Does vanilla bean help?
