Thanks for your answers

Thanks everyone for answering me, temporal lobe epilepsy is the most type of epilepsy misunderstood and misdiagnosed, many people don't understand what it's like, and think it is some kind of panic attack sometimes. I'm glad I'm not the only one with TLE, though I hope there aren't many people with it because it isn't nice at all. Some people told me they had tinnitus (noises in the ears) just like me, did anyone get treatment for it? did it work? because it can become really bothersom sometimes, and I always worry that one day (god forbbid) the tinnitus might become very loud and how I'd be able to live with it. I mean imagine having a constant noise in your ears that will never go away! it's horrible. Another thing is some of you told me they had disorganized thoughts or something like that, can anyone tell me more about it? thanks :D
