Can talking too much trigger a seizure?
I have temporal lobe epilepsy with impaired awareness seizures, and mild aphasia that seems to be connected to it. I always have difficulty finding the right words to convey my message, and speaking or listening to other people's speech makes me tired quickly. Especially when it's a complex and/or unfamiliar topic. And when I have a seizure, it happens quite often that I completely lose the ability to understand speech for a period of time.
So, my question. Is it possible that speaking or listening triggers a seizure? I mean doing that for prolonged periods of time, when it makes me tried?
