Default Trouble finding words (aphasia/dysphasia) between episodes

Between episodes (which we think they're probably temp lobe seizures, but no one know for sure . . .) I have been having more and more trouble with trouble finding the word I want for something. I know there's a specific word for a thing or concept or person's name, etc and I know that I know what it is, but I can't access it. Usually I try to describe what I'm not able to find the precise word for and often my husband can fill it in for me. As soon as I hear the word, I recognize it. I just can't recall it on command. t's not complete aphasia, and if my husband says the word I'm looking for I know it. It's very frustrating and is beginning to make me feel like a dummy! Plus I find it worrisome to have it slowly getting worse.

Have others had trouble with this? If so, what course did it take? Does decreasing the seizure frequency help? I'd really appreciate any thoughts!

Thanks!
