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.

I feel like I can't focus my eyes like im intoxicated from alcohol and not in a fun way . Its like your drunk and trying to gain control of your body and vision but nothing works. Things seem dream like and I'm not really there or I only remember parts of whats happening so I maybe already having a partial at that point . I start to panic and cry cause I can't stop whats happening which is weird in public places cause I want to run away from a room full of people crying . Sometimes I feel like my head is vibrating inside little light headed Blurry eyes vision changes , anxiety .....then the headaches comes in the end. Its hard to pin point the aura part to when it moves into a partial seizure but I think it starts with the vision changes then progresses .

Im glad i heard that as i have nothing in common with any one else that i have read about, untill i read this. I had a Grand Mal, my 1st seizure, and i didnt know what was going on, but remember fighting every one so i didnt go to hospital, even the ambo's, which now id like to appoligise to as they were trying to help me, I just wasnt with it, i just went from bed to bed to the couch any where i could lay down, thats what i was told as like i said i was out of it, but since then i thought i had'nt had ne more, but twice now in my sleep, when im half knowing what is going on i have frothed at the mouth, and just shacken down the left side of my body, but then go back to sleep. But in the morning i can remember what happened. I know that sounds wierd, but thats just me~!
