Hi, I am new to posting on this site.  I have referenced this site many times and find the post the most helpful, especially the responses to the post.

I am 32 years old and never had a seizure before.  My CT scan showed an old infarc or brain infection in my left temporal lobe; however, on the MRI it only showed that my left temporal lobe was asymeteric.  Whatever that means.  My EEG was normal - they said.  But during the EEG when they had me close my eyes and had the lights flashing - my lip began to twitch and the tech stopped the lights.  I also had a tilt table test to rule out dysautonomia.

Here's the story (sorry so long)...I was at work in July, sitting at my desk.  I got up to copy something and the next thing I know a co-worker is standing over me while I am on the floor.  From there I went to the ER.  CT scan, EKG...Nothing, except the CT results above.  I have had two more instances where I have what I call blacked out, but no one has been around when this occurs.  I have aura's.  I get goose bumps on one side of my body- no matter how hot it is - then I get what I call tunnel hearing.  A co-worker has witnessed me sitting at my desk with my head down, lip twitching, and rubbing my right hand fingers together.  This has happed a few times. I have had staff that also say I will walk around and seem to be in a daze.  I have had dejavu eperiences as well throughout my life. 

I saw my neruo on Tuesday.  He said I was having complex partial seizures or that this could all be surpressed memories of a traumatic event that may have occurred in my childhood.  He started me on Dilantin.  I am already taking neurontin and klonopin for fibromyalgia and anxiety.  He did state that being on those other two drugs could be the reason why the seizures have not been more frequent or severe. 

 Could being on those two other drugs prior to the EEG have caused it to be normal?

I really feel a need to morn the fact that I have seizures.  My husband is not understanding.  My mother is great.  My job requires me to drive (even though I do it very rarely - it is in my job description).  My licensce has been taken until I am seizure free for 6 months.  My job is being supportive and understanding at this point.

 My abitlity to think or get words out is very bad. 

Just wondering if these symptoms are common.  If anyone has any suggestions or comments, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks.
