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!!

Greetings From  Blessing.

My name is Blessing from Republic of Sudan. Presently in Dakar Senegal 24 years of age.

I am so decided to extend my felicitations to you. Presently i can not really specify what prompted my drive to write but i did have the mind that you could be a nice person. I have the interest to meet people from out side my continent and felicitate. It is my believe that there are nice people out there who can appreciate the values of friendship. Personal I might not be very beautiful physically like most ladies in your country but I think I have the beauty of the mind, which is more valuable to me.

Please write me if you can. I am single and focus. I wouldn’t say i am good but will leave that to you to find out with time. As allowing others to access you is a humble act...Hope to receive a message from you. It will be very much appreciated getting to know you much better and share our experience and good wills about our respective continents.

I will send you my photo in my next reply. I will appreciate as well if you send yours to me in your next mail. With due respect i ask, do tell me some briefs about you. Your love life, what you do appreciate in a woman in general and your dislikes. Lest I forget I am not a white lady rather simply colored and wish you do not mind as I have the concept that we all are the same irrespective of our colors. The inner person to me is most important, friendships to me is a right of all humans and if properly inclined could add to once happiness.

My greetings to all your good and loving family were ever you live. Please do write me back soonest I will appreciate from the dept of my heart..You can also write me through my address:  blesingcale@yahoo.in
 
Your friend,
Blessing

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
