Hello, good to hear from you. Seizures, yes. Well, I learned the hard way that the brain is really sensitive. Who knew? Haha. Previously, I had nothing like epilepsy but the doctor speculated that the presence of the large cyst probably over time disrupted blood flow to a particular area, and that this could have been the initiator of the Transient Epileptic Amnesia that I am now stuck with. I do not collapse or pass out, or anything like that. The seizures are confined to a particular part of the brain. Fortunately, the medicine ("Vimpat") is totally effective at suppressing it; I just have to take it twice a day for ever, and it is rather pricey. But don't fret; this particular outcome is very unusual, apparently. Most cysts do not occur where mine did, in the velum interpositum. In fact, the first doctor I consulted went the standard textbook route, and said that the cyst, as is the usual case (?), can be left untreated.
My seizures only manifested as working memory failures. Long-term memory was never affected, I think. Bbut I would not be able to form new memories such as things I had been told, events that had just occurred, even significant ones such as people who had passed away. Really strange. But now, I seem to be completely restored.
I can say, at the very least, that is has been ... educational.
