Dear Chew, I'm sorry if I went over board but the more I read, ask and research about this menace, Epilepsy, the more I get conflicting and confusing information from more all corners, making me more frustrated and angry on how to cope and live with my own endless petite and grand mal seizures. I some times wonder if people know what the hell their are talking about but I guess, different people have different forms of seizures.      Dear Chew, I'm just sick and tired of this menace and I'm NOT sure whom to believe or NOT believe, and I guess that's how I have to live with it. Thank you for your caring insights. I wish you all the best, Gerrie

clueless to when going to have a seizure

The nurse just probably hasn't met that many pts. who have seizures. I have a cousin and a sister-in-law who both can tell when they're going to have seizures. On the other hand, my late great aunt and I couldn't tell. I asked my neurologist about this and he told me that some people can tell and others can't. That's normal.

auras usualy happen with complex seizures. they happen occasionly with tonic clonic seizures which is what i have. i rarely get auras.  normaly i just feel like i hit a brick wall and i am very tired. then i will end up having a siezure.
