Brief Answer:
MRI with Seizure Protocol is needed. Treatment will be based on MRI Finding

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com I am Dr.J XXXXXXX Anto Bruno Mascarenhas, and I am here to help you. I have read your question with care and understand that you have had Temporal Lobe Seizures for 4 years.

Let me explain you a bit about brain and fits
A Part of Brain can stop functioning for two reasons
1. Structural Damage
2. No Structural Damage, but function alone stops

I will give you an example of your watch
1.
Your watch is working normally. Now, Assume a heavy weight falls over it and the watch is broken to pieces. It will stop Functioning. Whatever you do, you cannot make it work normally again because the parts are damaged
2.
Your watch is working normally. Now, if falls down and you see that the hands are struck. Now, if you shake them a bit, they will start functioning normally because in this small fall, the parts were not damaged

Same way
Your Brain can stop functioning for two reasons
1. Structural Damage
2. Function alone stops

So
Your Symptoms (do not feel hunger, emotion and could lay all day and night feeling nothing) can be due to
1. Structural Damage to Brain
2. Just a brief Stoppage of Functions

Now you have the following questions
1. Is there any testing that can be done or a way to help?
2. Will this damage show up on an MRI?

"MRI Brain" is not just one investigation. Actually it is a spectrum of sequences. There are special Sequences that visualise Temporal Lobe. These form a Seizure Protocol. So, If you undergo a MRI Brain with Seizure Protocol with Emphasis on Temporal Lobes, you can see whether there is damage to your Temporal Lobe or not

Now
If we find any structural damage to the brain in the MRI Images, we will have to treat "fried circuits" accordingly
But
If there is no structural damage to the brain in MRI, it means that you are having a very simple problem and that can be treated quite easily with few tablets

Hope you found the answer helpful.

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Best Wishes for Speedy Recovery
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
