New here...a question...

I look forward to getting to know everyone and I hope I can encourage,
sup****t and maybe even pass on some info.
I have a question.  I've had tem****al lobe seizures since I was 21 (am now
56) and a little more than a year ago I developed what my neurologist
calls
"complex partial seizures".  When it first happened I thought I was going
to have my usual unconscious seizure because I couldn't talk - form words
- everything jumbled even though I knew what I wanted to say.  But it
lasted for four hours and I didn't become unconscious.  I was taken to the
hospital and they ran a bunch of tests (because they thought I might be
having a stroke) but I was diagnosed with complex partial seizures.  My
concern is:  I've NEVER read about anyone else having that symptom!!  Does
anyone here have that happen or know anyone who's had that happen?
I lost my job as an Inside Sales Rep because I had to talk on the phone
all day long and all of a sudden I couldn't talk because I knew sounds
that didn't make sense would come out of my mouth.  I'm much better know,
besides Phenobarbital I take Trileptal.
Any info, please!
