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.

Hello,

  Having an aura is like a out of body ex[erience--not feeling or knowing *(i guess). I have had auras before but I was under a lot of stress--now that I am less stressed out and on a extra med, I don't get auras as much. An aura is like a strange feeling and the feeling of not being "in the room" so to speak. I hope you are doing better! See you doctor if you continue to feel auras.

 Sincerely,

Gina
