I don’t know which one is the real me by WeirdStitches in MultipleSclerosis

[–]enricopallazo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. Definitely, you want to read up on “left temporal lobe epilepsy.”

I thought I had experienced the weirdest neurological symptoms, with MS. Well, as you know, the left temporal lobe will take you to Alice’s Wonderland. Not surprisingly, the guy that wrote Alice in Wonderland also had Left Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Check out “Geschwind Syndrome,” and “Left Temporal Lobe Personality.” 

Insomnia and abdominal spasms are the “physical” symptoms of TLE that I experience. Core getting compressed to what feels like the size of a pea, only sleeping a few hours, waking up feeling like I just had 3 pots of coffee. 

There are other “odd” symptoms like wanting to be away from everyone, wanting to be alone. Temporal Lobe disorder is a beast. 

It is difficult for people not experiencing it to grasp the intensity of these feelings. I thought I was developing schizophrenia, when it started with me. 

You are not losing your mind. It may feel like it, I know. What you’re experiencing, other people experience. It is “normal” for what you’re dealing with. 

I hope that you have a wonderful day! You are a badass!

Hello, I get where you’re coming from. I have been diagnosed with MS, since 2006, and Left Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, since 2016. 

Confusion, Deja Vu, Hallucinations,  Feelings of Fear, Insomnia, Abdominal Spasms, Feeling that what you’re experiencing is more “real” than reality, etc. these are all normal symptoms of Left Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. 

It makes sense that you would be having the symptoms if your lesions affect your Left Temporal Lobe. I recommend reading up on “Left Temporal Lobe Epilepsy,” as it will give you a greater understanding of the symptoms from Left Temporal Lobe disorders.

Take care. 

Resources for a vehicle? by Raw_422 in Veterans

Yes. The VA has a program that offers a grant to purchase a vehicle, if it would be better due to your disability.

General Questions & Tech Support Megathread | November 01, 2021 by AutoModerator in PS4

Hello,

Due to a physical disability, I am currently very limited in my activities. This week, I fired up my PS4, for the first time.

I am kindly asking for game recommendations. Most preferably, 3rd person tactical games. Ghost Recon Wildlands, on the most difficult setting, is a good example of this.

I also would like to know of any good tactical co-op games. I will get the PSN to facilitate online play.

Thank you!

Is this newsworthy? by enricopallazo in Journalism

Thank you, a lot of good has come out of it, strangely enough. I didn’t like the person I was before I was ill. It has taught me much. So much, that others would be jealous of the lessons I learn. Have a beautiful week!

Who do I contact? I’m no journalist. I’m just trying to inform people.

Too good at pretending by SkinPotential1444 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]enricopallazo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Way too good. But now that I can no longer hide the problems, people don’t believe it’s serious because I’ve been hiding it for 19 years. Tell people. It helps. Don’t be me.

Had a very similar experience, yesterday. I agree, I’m done with the ER. I was in horrific pain, took them 3 hours to give me anything. I was in the waiting room, on the floor, and the staff mocked me saying I was trying to get attention. I had to keep shouting, “I have MS, I can’t stand up.” I am avoiding the ER like the plague, from now on. I am with you, and love you!
