You mentioned that you had temporal lobe findings. If you don't mind answering, did you ever have any aphasic episodes? Just wondering, because over the past six (6) years, I've had three very brief episodes of them. Definitely knew exactly what I wanted to say, but the words came out as gibberish. No obvious sign of stroke on brain MRI w/contrast.

I also have small vessel ischemic disease & APS (antiphospholipid syndrome) which has caused 3 strokes and numerous TIA's. So I can't say whether
any one event might be from something other than the APS & SVID. However, my 'events' were more typical motor loss on one side vs aphasia.
I
think (I use this loosely) my temporal lobe dysfunction (found on EEG) is from the Sjogren's inflammation on the brain and contributes to my cognitive problems in general, not 'episodes' of a specific type.
Was the MRI you had immediately after one of these episodes? What about an EEG...have you had one?
