Confusion while driving, anyone else?

Does anyone else experience this? I don't know what's going on. Today, I was driving and I saw the "One Way" sign. I wanted to go left, but it in no way inconvenienced me in the slightest, other than it changed my plan. When I got to the stop sign I almost turned left (NOT the correct direction, there was also a concrete median). I think if I hadn't sat there due to heavy traffic, I would have made that left turn. I definitely could have gotten myself or others killed, that's how confident(?) I was in making the left turn, but I fully recognized the One Way sign and that I was going to have to make a right before I had gotten there. This isn't the first time something like this has happened to me. Yesterday, I almost missed my friend's street when I was taking her home. She told me we were at the turn, and I told her we weren't, I was very insistent (I had a "valid" argument, but it's fluff for now), we were in fact at the street and I had to move over into the turning lane later than one should have. "Small" things like this are starting to happen more and more. The first time something like this ever happened was in 2021 and nothing like it has ever happened until earlier this year but it's becoming more frequent. Does this happen to anyone else? Why? What is it?

Questions for New Neurologist: Medication, Birth Control, and More

What should I ask my new neurologist? My old pediatric neurologist retired so I'm seeing an adult(?) one. What should I ask her? The only current questions I have are pertaining to possibly drinking and/or smoking with my meds, and discussing birth control. Any other advice? I had seen my last neurologist for about 3 years, and he was very informative but sometimes appointments felt rushed.

Looking for Advice on Epilepsy Medication

If anyone has generalized epilepsy and medicine what are you on? My seizures are not improving at all and are generalized tonic clonic (grand mal) every time. I want to change medicines but have tried 6 (not at one time) with no luck. I would like ideas to ask about.

Weird Feeling When I See Flashing Lights

So I have this weird thing that happens when I see flashing lights where I get like this unsettling feeling in my head and I get pressure and just feel like my eyes feel strange I don’t really know how to describe it but I just have to block it out or I feel like total crap. I don’t know what epilepsy would feel like of course so not sure if it’s something related along those lines or maybe a migraine with sensitivity to light? I do get headaches afterward. Have any of you had something like this or maybe be able to help me know what to do next? It’s been happening for like a decade now it hasn’t gotten worse over the years but just since I was a teen has been an issue so I try to avoid flashing lights.

Experiencing Episodes of Confusion and Blurriness

For as long as I can remember, I have episodes where my brain gets stuck on words, conversation, or actions that didnt make sense to me. Silently I would replay them over and over, trying to make sense of them. During these episodes, everything is blurry, i can see shapes and colors, but it seems to be more like a movie, not cannot hear anything. My family would tell me I would stand/sit there with a blank look an my face. Has anyone ever experienced this? Could these have been seuzures?
