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 agree. These headaches are not normal. Mine hit so bad I end up hospitalized. They can give me every migraine med they have and nothing breaks it. For days after my head is so sore it feels like my skull is cracked. My neurologist prescribed me maxalt, which helps but does nothing for pain. It helps the migraine from getting worse.

I have longed to find others who experiance these feelings as i have. I cry at times after experiancing these Aura's becuase i felt no one can understnd the feelings that go through my body and the migraines i would have soon after. These are not good feelings for me and they can be scary. My Aura's begin by a dejevu feeling and it starts from the top of my body and goes down, this tingling sensation all over and feeling very strange looking around. i fight not allowing the full seizure to begin. i really feel comforted by holding someones hands.

Hey Jamilah I completely agree. That feeling when you look up at a tall building that's overwhelming, especially a building that you've never seen before. Is that the type of aura you get. I get the same one. It almost feels like you're going to faint. "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."-William Shakespeare
