Hi - new here (I think!)

Hi, I know I joined an epilepsy forum recently, problem is I can't remember which one! So, if I am new here - hello! I was diagnosed with TLE as a teen, after years of giving me grief and medication, it seemed to stop and for the past few years all's been quiet with it. Until last night. It revisited with avengeance in the form of night terrors which was the main problem I had with it. Because it went away for a while I no longer have a neurologist but I'm seeing my shrink tomorrow (I also have bipolar) and I'll let him know what happened. Even in the past I never really was given, or found, too much information on the sleep seizures I had last night and prior. Other elements of TLE I experienced too, and these types of seziures I've found quite a bit of info on. Does anyone else experience the 'night terrors' seizures with TLE? And if so, how do they affect you? With me they seem to happen in clusters, one after the other with a semi-conscious period inbetween that makes me aware of what's happening but unable to do anything like get out of bed. They're frightening and very real in a warped way. Okay, I've rambled enough - nice to meet you all! - Zathyn
