Looking for some input

If you have temporal lobe epilepsy could this be affect the brain stem and/or hypothalmus, and thus explain very slow and sometimes erratic pulse, low body temp and hypo thyroid symptoms despite a TSH of 2.2?

With increasing motor automatims, could it be spreading into the frontal lobes or elsewhere?

How can you distinguish between turrets and myoclonic seizures?

Is it possible to become addicted to extremely pleasurable seizure states and learn how to kindle them on one's own?

What arguments exist against doing this?

 

Thanks!!

hi,

i can give you something on the temperature control mechanism.  What i have been told by the neuro is that it probably is result of scar tissue forming around the hippocampus.  it changes the way the hypothalmus functions.  hope it helps.   rikk
