Left Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and premonitions

Sun, 03/04/2012 - 17:35

I posted this six years ago and thought I would post it again. Does anyone have TLE and experience premontions or other paranormal experiences that don't seem to be related to the TLE?

I have been diagnosed with TLE but can not take medication. Still not sure after all these years what type of seizures I am having. I have had a few two or three second dizzy spells that I am able to talk and function right through. They are calling those the seizures. I also have had many premonitions and some other bizarre visions. These are not the kind that are typical with seizures. These are partial visions that eventually come true. And they are not coincidences. I had a vision of 911 and many other occurances. I have had these all my life---long before the TLE diagnosis. Furthermore, I am not crazy. I'm a professional who seldom admits to these premonitions because I am afraid people will think I'm crazy.

I thought I read a similar post here but now I can't locate.

I would be interested in finding out if anyone else with TLE has these experiences. In particular, any TLE patients that are not on medication.

People with LTE are wired to run on fast mode , we just look at people or events in a certain way and in a second we can predict were they come from , how they think , what their weight is ,were they live ,how they will react , what they can possibly do and what their logistics are and so forth , we are not phychics or have higher I.Q.s our brains just run on fast mode . But most of us will hate our fast brain mode once in a while when our fast mode crashes.
