I am not going to lie, I thought this ama was done by my ex-boyfriend at first. He also has KLS and is 31, but he lives in Wisconsin and was diagnosed in 2004.

Seeing KLS first hand is something else. I am sorry and I wish you the best, I truely do.

One question I have for you is how can YOU tell that you are coming out of a spell, compared to when your family thinks you are finishing one?

For my ex, I could tell he was finishing because he was go in his pantry and start to open all the resealable bags - focusing on the fine motor skills. He said his eyes would stop having rapid eye movement when he had them open and focusing his vision let him know.

His spells lasted 3 weeks max, so I was completely shocked to read months for you.

Secondary question - does your wife ever tell you that you get aggressive? My ex used to shove, wrestle and punch his siblings during a spell. They used to describe him as an angry hibernating bear.
