LennyBound, Thank you for this. I received an acquired brain injury from a toxic reaction to an antidepressant. The changes in my experience of consciousness as is typically experienced have been at once terrifying and heartening. Most people don't realize what a gift just waking up in the morning and knowing who you are is. Being comfortable in your consciousness, even if it is being conscious of going to a job one hates; the familiarity of it; the knowing of it, is such a gift.
Neurology is so interesting. I like that Ramachandran makes it easier to understand, some people I know that are scientist will just spew information with all these big terms that are hard to follow.
If you guys like this, you should also read his book which is called Phantoms in the Brain as well.
as with any hallucinogen, set and setting, my friend. Don't stop smoking weed if it helps with the epilepsy, as it's demonstrably good for managing your seizure threshold. Weed has been used as an anticonvulsant for a long time. Don't listen to mindovermatter. Probably thinks if you smoke weed, X will happen and God kills a kitten. If you feel that the euphoric and hallucinatory effects are undesirable, try to smoke heavy indicas, as the cannabidiol is useful for controlling your threshold.
schizophrina is very easy to diagnose with a brain scan, temporal lobe epilepcy is quite hard to spot, they can tell from a eeg but you have to be haveing an episode for them to pick it up, and they dont really know what sets them off, so its hard to catch them. plus schizophrenia does just go away gets worse with age untreated, but luckly this kind of epilepsy dies down as you get older in your life
ive had TLE for about 6 years before i had took any significant amount of drugs so that wasnt the cause, i had took several beatings to the head , with weapons etc. i suppose that could have damaged my frontal lobe but none of the doctors, psyciatrists i see have any experience on this and put it down to psycosis/depression/anxiety and its really fuckin frustrating, the more weed i smoke the less it affects me but couple of hours without a smoke and i have the seizures with sickness thenheadache
If they'd damaged your FRONTAL lobe you'd have frontal lobe epilepsy and that usually doesn't cause tonic-clonic seizures (the classic "pitching a fit" kind) due to the way the frontal lobe is wired up. You'd experience things more like inappropriate or extreme responses like laughter then hysterical crying one after the other, then go back to being normal. Temporal lobe damage is common though. Find a doctor who's actually worth their license. And be prepared to be told it's your drug habit.
Schizophrenia is not easy to diagnose with a brain scan. In fact, there is no certainty about what signature schizophrenia leaves in the brain and most of what is known is very general.
i have TLE, and only people with it would understand, when you have an episode its like nothing on earth, mine begin with deja vu then a complete feeling of eurphoria that is so intence it makes me vomit, they are quite funny but very vivid, its like a being in a liveing dream i damaged my temporal lobe in an accident as a child, none of this jesus shite, thats just cos hes a yank cunt. i,ve never met anyone else with it in my life, truth is doctors dont know fuck all about it really
This Is Astounding. I need the book. I need it now.

You mean Jesus might have had brain damage? Well, could be.. Similar mystic experiences can be also induced by certain psychedelic drugs.
