my name is rick, and i'm 15 years old.
I'm new here, so I thought I would
introduce myself.
My problem (well, one of many :wink: )
is:
i have synestecia, which is very rare.
People who have this actually think in
colours and it is suggested that they see
more colours then we can see her on earth.
So I read something about that and I
suddenly read something about tle
(temporal lobe epilepsy), and that a lot
of people who have synestecie, have tle.
However I could not find a real good list
of symptoms. This is what I somethimes
have:
* I am suddenly very absent. This is
very weird, because I see everything just
perfectly and I am aware of every sound
and what is happening, but it's like...I'm
not really there.
* I tend to stare for a while (until it's
over; it lasts about 30 sec - 4 minutes).
* I can talk, but it's very difficult.
Normally I always think about what i'm
going to say. But when I have 'this', I
don't. It's like somebody else is
talking, and it just flies out, but yet it
is what I wanted to say, deep inside.
Except for the fact that I don't think
about it and it just flies out.
* I don't remember whether I said
something or not (sometimes).
* I always make repietive movements with
my foot, which relaxes me. I don't move
the rest of my body (sometimes my hands
instead of my foot, but mostly my foot and
I never use both at the same time).
* I am constantly hoping nobody will talk
to me, because I want to be alone and I
don't want to talk at all. Normally i'm
a real talker so it's like weird when i'm
not.
And
i have an other type of abscents too.
This one is a mix between déja vu and my
thoughts.
* I suddenly see a video in my head. I
cannot hold on to this video; it just hows
itselfs and what it shows usually becomes
reality. For as long as this lasts, I am
unable to talk or do practically anything.
It lasts about 3 seconds, and it's
almost like a dream. I am so
concentrated on this film, that I don't
pay much attention to what happens around
me. I think this is some sort of mix
between what I think could happen and some
sort of déja vu.
(by the way, I don't think this is
anything paranormal. It is more like my
mind 'talking to me' (and almost 'warning'
me for things that could happen)). I was
just wondering if this could have
something to do with epilepsy.

Might be worth asking your doctor to look
into....Some of what you talk about you
seem aware of and that is most likely not
seizure...Ie, when you move your foot back
and forth because it relaxes you, seizures
are involuntary....
Ask your doctor if he can order an eeg to
see what might be going on....
