Question about aura's
Mon, 05/15/2006 - 11:28Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
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 too also have these types of Auras. When they start they last ALL day. Its overwhelming fear and panick. It ends in me crying hysterically. I was told that these are simple partial seizures and I am having them all day. Is that what you were told? I just started medicine and they are getting better. If you want to talk Im here.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH AURA'S. I HAVE HAD AURA'S ALWAYS. I STARTED WITH THOSE AURA THAT I SAY BEGINS IN THE STOMACH. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I FELT THE SAME FEAR WHEN I WAS GETTIN SICK AND VOMITING. I DO NOT HAVE THAT NOW, JUST AURA'S AND THAT IS ENOUGH TO SCARE ME EVERY TIME I GET THEM. I ALSO HAVE HAD HUNDREDS A DAY I HAVE BEEN ON EO MANY DIFFERENT MEDICATION AND I STILL GET AURA'S.I AM ON KEPPRA,DEPAKOTE,LAMICTAL FOR THE AURA'S. I MYSELF DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO CALL THEM SEIZURES OR AURA'S. PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHAT AN AURA IS.I HAVE HADE THIS ALL MY LIFE I AM 65 YEARS OLD.YOU ARE THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT SOUNS LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.
THANKS FOR LISTENING
