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.

Well if you want to be factual auras are seizures in themselves. They are different with everybody. Like all seizures be they are different with the person. My auras are just weird feeling in my head but sometimes they are in my right hand.

Hope this is what you are wanting

I have them every now and then, but what happens to me is that I get kinda twitchy and when I am talking to someone, I will just stop mid-sentence and then wonder what I was talking about. I have also heard that I act kinda ditzy. I never really thought about it before until my roommate told me that I did that like a minute or two right before I have a seizure. So if I start to do those things, I will either go and sit somewhere safe like a couch or the floor, or go crawl in to bed so that I don't hurt myself.
