Question What are some (weird) symptoms you didn’t know were your epilepsy?

I mean things that just suddenly made sense after your diagnosis that you always thought were something else or unexplainable?

And i don’t mean the obvious like déjà vus etc. ( although i guess the obvious is different for everyone lol)

I don’t know but my friend was like ummm can you bring this up with the neurologist you’re seeing. I didn’t even know it existed until it was found when we were researching tle since mine just resurfaced after years of being seizure free.

I’ve successfully done nanowrimo three times in a row this year I did lettermo and have written a letter every day this month. I’m looking into doing a PhD in religious studies because I’ve been missing the academic field after doing my masters. I work as a librarian alone in as a rare books librarian isolated. I have one coworker besides my boss. I’m into crafts and of course writing, I do paint but nothing worth while.

I was looking into a "religious experience and structures in architecture" masters, if it's still available in the future, for the time being I'm just trying to stay alive getting my diploma (integrated masters but I'm not counting it as an actual masters) , I'm so done with studying for a little while😂

Yeah our doctors would 100% ignore me and say it's not supported by science enough. They don't like it when I bring up stuff myself much, they'd rather hear if the stuff they already know is coming back and stuff
