Feeling off lately

Sun, 11/23/2014 - 23:00

Hello, I was diagnosed with epilesy at age twelve. I am now 20 and have been doing great on my medication until recently the past few days I have been feeling that horrible feeling I felt before I had my first big gran mal that sent me to the hospital in an ambulance. Most would describe it as an aura, but I haven't had a seizure yet. I have been taking my medication as directed nothing in my diet/medications/life has changed recently. Is this normal for me to feel this way, to feel like I'm going to have another seizure? (I haven't had one in almost 6 years, we finally found a medication/dose that has worked so well for me!) I just want to know if its normal to have a couple seizures here and there with epilepsy even though its well controlled on medication...?

Apologies for my terrible writing, my mind isn't thinking very clearly at the moment! :(

Thank you all!
