Decrease of frequency of seizures but increase of Auras ?

Sun, 10/24/2010 - 03:42
My daughter has had a decrease in actual epileptic episodes but now she gets auras every 2-3 days. These auras last a couple of minutes and deep breathing seems to help. Any ideas / suggestions / thoughts... Thanks Karbhari

That's a great idea,I've never had an aura, been uncontrollable/refractory seizures since '74.Have tried more than 26 medicines and had a unsuccessful left temporal lobectomy in '96,it didn't reduce med's or seizures but it did cause verbal-memory loss.I wish I had an aura so I'd be warned to pull over if driving. My seizures come on so quickly with instant unconsciousness.
