I Think I Might Have Temporal Lobe Epilespy??

Question by Aly G: i think I might have Temporal Lobe Epilespy??
I don’t know what to do.
I would tell my boyfriend, but his stepmom is a hypochondriac so he hears dumb things all the time. my mom doesn’t believe me when i tell her something’s wrong. i don’t know what to do.

my main “symptoms” are weird smells. (ex. alcohol, band-aids, rotten milk, celery, cucumbers..its so weird when it happens and I ask people if its around..) I pick my fingers all the time without even realizing it. I rarely notice until i start bleeding. body twitches (always the left side of my neck. they started 5 or 6 years ago), poor memory, insane mood swings (even when im not PMSing), and sometimes I feel really weird. like im dreaming. and i feel like i cant talk. but im concious and thinking. my friends just think im weird because we’ll be sitting at lunch and having a fine conversation but i wont say anything. then i forget if i said what i thought so i repeat myself a lot..

what should i do?
is there anything else this could be?
anyone?
i need help :[

i dont need to know the cause, i just want to know if it is TLE?!
yeah, just told my boyfriend. he’s not worried. exactly why i didn’t want to tell him, but he dragged it out of me.

why am i incapable of telling people that this is kind of serious?

There are probably a number of possible causes…the best way to get to the bottom of it would be to see a neurologist.
