For me, when I looked up online and saw my symptoms were pretty much exactly temporal lobe seizures, I went to see a doctor at the Mayo Clinic (I'd tried a local one but I had to see a normal doctor first before a referral to a more specific one and that process was not the best) and the Mayo doctor did an EEG, MRI, and pointed at the tumor that was causing the seizures.

The medication is a huge problem, considering how many side effects there are and trying to find the right one is so difficult. I've very jealous that you were able to get off the meds.

These types of medical problems seem so random and crazy things can happen. I always wonder what it'd be like if we had these problems 50 years in the future when the knowledge of seizures and medicine has made much more progress.
