Wow,
You poor thing. I can't imagine the frustration and confusion you must feel about your own mind. How long have you been suffering from this? Have you sought a second and third opinion? I hope you find an answer that feels right or more fitting to your condition and then I hope there is something that can help you. Keep everyone posted will you?
Good Luck and lots of sympathy.

Hi,

Diagnosis of temporal lobe seizure is primarily on the basis of the symptoms presented and the results of tests. Diagnosis may include a complete physical examination, including a detailed neuromuscular examination, an EEG (electroencephalograph) or a head CT scan or a cranial MRI may show the location and extent of the lesion.

EEG shows characteristic changes confirming partial (focal) seizures, and may show the focus (location of the cause).

What were the results of your tests? The early warning symptoms include: abnormal sensations, epigastric sensations,  hallucinations or illusions, sensation of deja vu, recalled emotions or memories, sudden, intense emotion not related to anything occurring at the time. During the seizure, consciousness may be maintained during the seizure or may be reduced or lost during the seizure.

Discuss your symptoms and tests with your doctor for clarifications. This link may be helpful: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/MEDLINEPLUS/ency/article/001399.htm
Take care and keep us posted.
