Over 20 years ago, TLE was suggested to me but not diagnosed. I've had several potential brain traumas, anoxia at birth, and extremely high fever with Scarlet Fever at age 6. I've always had poor memory and concentration. About 3-4 years ago, I had the abrupt onset of a very weird symptom. One article called it an "i-pod in the brain", music that I hear, and cannot stop. It's very faint, and will loop continuously all day. I can think of another song, and that will take the place of the first, but that's all the control I have over it. It will fade if I'm in conversation with someone. If I listen to actual music, when it ends, I'll hear it faithfully reproduced in my head. Mercifully, the music fades as I fall asleep, but it returns within minutes of waking. It disappears for weeks at a time, but always returns. I occasionally smell a stale cigarette smell also. I don't know anything about TLE, other than odd sensory experiences can be symptoms. I'm seeing a neurologist, so maybe recent tests will reveal something.
