Memory loss and extreme emotions. The worst 😔

Mood swings, lethargic, unsteady, trouble putting words together sometimes feels like I have to dig way down to get the word I want.
And, ditto on all I’ve read here so far.
So thankful for being able to support and learn from each other.

I have had problems with speech as well. For a long time i would try to say something and get tongue tied. I would thing of a word but mash it up with another word at the same time.. I would also find it hard to remember a word I want to say and forget how to spell a word I should know how to spell. I have also had from time to time drop things for no reason. It seems like I wasn't paying attention that I was holding anything and my muscles just let go. I don't have as much issues with all of that now. Maybe a little.

I don't know who expects their symptoms? The symptoms I hate the most are my aura symptoms I use to have of deja vu and the feeling of being able to tell the future and the roller-coaster ride felling. Since surgery it's a lot milder if I ever have one.

So sorry to say I can identify with most of you. However, I am learning through each of you that we are not alone and we are not abnormal. I have been thinking the past couple of years that no one understood and that since my seizures are not that often and not super bad that it should not affect me. It does and others who do not deal with this can not understand. We just have to be here to support each other. Thankful for each of you.
