Ack, sorry for the double post! I can't seem to edit to add this...perhaps after I'm out of the mod queue...??
Thanks to you as well, Shez!
I've had some psychic/intuitive experiences myself - dreams that came true days or months later, that sort of thing. They were not connected to seizures though as some things really did happen (dreams or 'passing thoughts' that came true days or months later and they were not hallucinations or delusions, they really did happen). It seems that there is quite a bit of discussion elsewhere that people with TLE are susceptible to such things and are frequently drawn to mysticism.
It seems that we have some similar circumstances. S.A., depression, extremely sensitive emotions. There is also bipolar disorder in my family, but I don't get manic and attribute the depression to my history and the problems I have with concentration (which makes working difficult, but I'm not severe enough to qualify for disability benefits). I also had febrile convulsions as an infant, which stopped after the last one at 18 months where I was said to be clinically dead for a few minutes.
I've never had brain surgery and my first grand mal happened when I was 18. I have not had a seizure for a few years now.
