Anyone had temporal seizures but fully awake only can’t respond, move?

Hi @randallshields56
I could clearly feel a decline in my cognition and executive functions, which was later confirmed by my neuropsychological assessment. Since my diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy (left side), I've learned that this type of epilepsy can significantly affect cognitive abilities. Additionally, my EEG revealed epileptiform activity starting in my temporal lobe and migrating to my frontal lobe—the region responsible for executive functions such as planning, focusing, remembering instructions, and managing multiple tasks.
Have any of your EEGs shown epileptiform activity spreading from your frontal lobe to your temporal lobe? Have you had the opportunity to undergo a neuropsychological assessment?

no did not have the neuropsychological assessment. i had to struggle trough a lot of this with just the family and what they could catch when i had other appointments. had a lot of the same symptoms and the doctor said they would improve, they are returning just really slowly.

I thought about a question on some of the comments I have received. A few people stated to stay awake later before an EEG but if mine are happening in my sleep around about same time and fee and far between would that actually help? And the only thing I have ever done is an EEG in 2023 and it came out fine.
