might I Have Temporal Lobe Epilepsy ?
Posted: 07-10-07 03:59am

Hi everyone! I just registered and would like to ask your oppinion on my story.
So ever since I was a teenager, maby something like 11 years I´ve been getting deja vu´s. When it starts, I can feel it coming and my heart starts to beat faster and a feeling rises from my stomach. Everything I see seems so totally lived before, although it´s not possible. It lasts for a minute or two and after that a bad nausea...quite often I throw up and heart beat. After the attack I can´t remember what I saw, it´s this surreal feeling, almost gives pleasure when I see deja vu.
Now because I´ve blocked it the last time it´s been more than half a year since last attack.
Funny thing is that I could stop it when it starts but I don´t want to, it´s like this being high experience when I see it. Some times I just concentrate on some other thing when it´s about to start and then it´s gone.
These deja vus usually comes like if I see one, then it´s many days or weeks I get it, but then can be a long break. I can interact when I am having one.

My father had deja vus when he was a kid, but no nausea. Some far relative has had epilepsy. I don´t remember if I´ve hit my head or when exactly these started...my memory also sucks!

And another thing that might have nothing to do with this one.
When I go and party (drink alcohol) I tend to fall asleep / sleepwalk even if I¨m not too drunk, but with this happy drunk. Once I left the bar and it¨s about 10minutes walk to the station, somehow I WOKE UP walking this bridge I´ve never seen before...so I actually woke up walking in some place. I wasn¨t too drunk, but everything was a blur after leaving the bar. I have also many times walked naked to our buildings general hallway and then woke up for example in an elevator...god knows if I had tried to go to a toilet. Once drunk also I woke up walking this street and thought that my home is close, I asked a woman and she told me I was in a different city that where my home is!!!

I´ve read about simple partial seizures and started to wonder if I might have one, or am I just paranoid cause of the deja vus? Tried to book a time to a doctor but non-emergencies are to be booked only after summer. I used to tell about these deja vus and nausea to my doctors but they didnt know or say anything. Until I googled these things in english!
I really appreciate if you could answer and if you had the time to read these looooong story...please forgive my grammar, I´m finnish.

I know this is an old post, but I experience the EXACT same thing. I too wonder if I suffer from TLS. Does anyone know? katjamode: did you ever figure it out? I'm seeking answers and can't find them anywhere!
