Now, you can have temporal lobe epilepsy and complex partial seizures.... The seizures are a characteristic of temporal lobe epilepsy. Hopefully your neurologist knows this. I know what you mean by the visual disturbances. My seizures come in clusters. I've been seizure-free for 6 months (thanks to surgery), but when I do have them, I'll have one about every two hours for 2-5 days. After the cluster, I'll be out-of-it for a couple of days. I'll feel really small in comparison to my surroundings and things look out-of-place and/or distorted. At this time, life feels a little bit unreal too. Like I'm in the Twilight Zone or I'm Alice in Wonderland. lol. I'm no doctor, but I don't think your visual disturbances are seizures but more like a characteristic of epilepsy itself..... kind of the postictal aftershock of a seizure(s).
Hope this helps,

thanks for the input that I have complex partial seizues or tempole lobe. as my dr really does not know. but I do not pass out. after I have one I am feeling reallyweird, like everything is really far away. even things up close are far away. and most of the time it last all day. It affects my eyes as I can not see. sometimes it is in just my right eye and sometimes in both. He did say the right side of my head is worse, by all thetes he has giving me. Most of the time I know I amhaving having one but alot of times it just comes on me and it is crazy. is there anyone else that has these simtoms.
