I read something from the Koran that sounded a lot like symptoms from my friend's epileptic sister. Here's the verse, and a list of symptoms.
The Hadith
"Mohammed would hear ringing in his ears; his heart would beat rapidly; his face turn red; his breathing labored; he would fall to the ground or lie down; he would shake; his eyes would open wide; his lips tremble; spit drool from the corners of his mouth; he would sweat profusely; he saw and heard things no one else ever saw or heard; he would sometimes make a snoring noise like that of a camel; and he would be covered with a sheet."
List of Symptoms for Epilepsy:
Convulsions
Muscle spasms
Strange sensations

Symptoms for temporal lobe epilepsy:

It seems pretty convincing to me, but maybe a real doctor, scientist can enlighten me.
