Hi Ruby,
Often I'm not able to speak or say words I want to right before a cp sz. I had a wada test done to find out that my speech was on both sides of my brain instead of just the left side of the brain like most people. I've had TLE for almost 35 yrs. now and I found the thing that caused the biggest problem for me was when I took neurontin it messed me up good and I couldn't spell simple everyday words. It may be the AED your taking but if you've had a lot of sz. this could have caused the hippocampus to shrink and harden which can cause memory loss for people. This is what happened to me and when I had brain surgery 75% of my RTL was removed and all of the right hippocampus. I will look at a person and they look familar to me but I can't remember their name. You may want to look into having neuropsych testing done to see if your sz. have affected areas of your brain on the left side where your speech is. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
