Multiple auras??

Tue, 06/13/2017 - 00:37
Hello. I have THE and usually just have simple focal (simple partial) seizures (a smoke smell). On occasion, I have other sensations. Never at the same have these overlapped. And I haven't had complex or tonic clinic in yesrs. Today I experienced the smell with uncontrollable blinking. I'd had some blinking spells for a few days but thought nothing of it. Then after two, and while I was still blinking, it progressed to this STRONG disassociated feeling. I felt panicked and unreal. Hard to explain. Was this three auras smoothed together,or a possible progression to a focal or complex? Anyone else experience something like this?
