Thank you Mark in Idaho.

These events are occurring during high stress situations for me as well. It is the weirdest thing & hard to explain. My mind just goes completely blank, and words don't mean anything, names, etc. I just cannot make sense out of them and I feel dissociated, but also a little part of myself is trying to make sense of everything & get my brain to get back to work. Scary!

I guess that I'll let me epi's nurse know about it later this morning. See what they say...

Thank you!

In March 2006, I had a partial left temporal lobectomy to remove my seizure focus. It worked well to control complex partial seizures, but left me hyper-sensitive to light and sound. Migraine headaches increased in severity as well as frequency.

In March 2007, I slipped on the ice and fell upon the left side of my head. The effects were mild TBI, a moderate concussion. The TBI effects increased light and sound sensitivity further, as well as migraine headaches. Seizure disorder got shaken up, requiring new medications to control complex partial seizures.

The long-term effects of these brain issues are very poor short-term memory; difficulty regulating emotions; major depression; anxiety; easily overwhelmed; word-finding difficulty as well as mixing up my words (but not recognizing my mistakes) and an extremely difficult time with decision-making. I also got divorced and am the secondary co-parent of our two daughters. That was a huge blow to me!
