How exactly do aura's feel

Mon, 05/15/2006 - 11:30
How exactly do aura's feel? Can you have aura's and not have an actual seizure? I think I had some this weekend. I went off into like a "spacy" feeling. Like I was tingling and I couldn't make myself snap out of it for a few seconds. I have had a headache since I has these feelings. I have had E a long time, but I am new to all the terminology and so forth. Thanks.

Graham,

My son had Viral Encephalitis two years ago, and now has epilepsy.  The auras you describe sound so much like what my son TRIES to describe to me (He's 11).  I would really appreciate it if I could hear from you and hear more about your story.  It's been a very hard time for us, as I'm sure it has for you.

Before my surgery 8 years ago I would have that feeling to. A deja vu feeling and remembering hearing a past situation in my head, but you can't talk. It was the same everytime ,but I still can't explain it. I had surgery in 2000 I had astrocytoma in part of my brain that works speech and memory. My memory lasted. I sord of had to relearn speech.

Since my surgery I've only had 4 gran mals since 2000. I went 6 years without one, But after my mom passed away I was so upset and stressed in brought a seizure on. I had one last year to at work and luckily there was only one child in my class and another teacher there. The seizures aren't the same I don't have the dejevu. I just start feeling weird and scared and then my vision starts fadeing out and I can't breath. I still bite my tongue.I hate biting my tongue. It takes a while to heal. Now I haven't a seizure in a year. I have had a couple weird feelings since then. I pray It doesn't continue. I'm scared.
