Cheryls Purple Cow Blog

At the same time I was setting up this blog, Blogger added the pages capability to its blogs.

So I decided to stay there because I am used to Blogger and that is where my followers already are.

My blog is Cheryls Purple Cow: Raising Awareness One Bead at a Time.

You can also find me on Facebook at Cheryls Purple Cow and My Extra Beads

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common epilepsy syndrome with focal seizures. These seizures are often associated with auras. TLE often begins in childhood. Research has shown that repeated temporal lobe seizures can cause the hippocampus to shrink over time. The hippocampus is involved with memory and learning. Although it may take years of temporal lobe seizures for measurable hippocampal damage to occur, this finding underlines the need to treat TLE early and as effectively as possible.

MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS

pilepsy comes from a Greek word meaning ‘possession.’ The Greeks believed seizures were caused by demons, and regarded them as a supernatural phenomenon. The true nature of epilepsy has long been distorted by myth and fear, and people continue to hold mistaken notions about the disorder.
