Hi everyone, I am 52 years old and have a diagnosis of bipolar 2 and left temporal lobe epilepsy. I have always thought there was a link between the two but haven't found any reasearch about it. I visited a new neurologist today and she has quite good credentials. I am happy to say the best part of the visit is that she stated that she believes there is a corelation between the two . I was very excited to hear this. I just thought i would mention it in case anyone else out there is the same as me and felt the same way but had never had any one substantiate their ideas. I would love to hear from any one else with bp1 or 2 and Left TLE. Cheers, have a good night every one . Xxx
I totally understand I am a person who suffers from both epilepsy and bipolar. I know sometimes it is a struggle but you must never give up hope that you will recover. You must beleive in yourself and the power you have with in yourself to rise above your adversity and overcome the illnes. Exercise for me was very important and a healthy diet.
Remember always stay positive and you are powerful beyond measure
