My auras are almost exactly as kruize has described...couldn't have said it better! Once I was put on meds, the auras completely stopped. I didn't always have a seizure with my auras, but I definitely, had an aura just prior to a seizure when I had the seizures. The auras were happening so often, just prior to being put on meds, that I got to a point that I wouldn't tell my family, because they would go into panic mode, fearing I was about to have a seizure...which was always grand mal.
My doc told me only about 20% of epileptics got auras, so I feel pretty lucky to even get them, since it's like a warning. And the exhausted feeling after my seizures is the same too...like I'm just drained emotionally and physically for hours.

Yeah, some of them are real balls of laughs. I asked mine one time, "So, Doctor, with everything you know about my medical record and my motorcycle racing (crashing, rather career. Five concussions in 3 years and three in the last year), what do you think is going on with all these seizures and auras?" He replies in his fine educated Pakistani, "Well, you know, you hit your head on the ground that many times, things happen." At that time I really didn't care if he was right. I still wanted to give him a beat down.
