Yes. I was trying to describe

Yes. I was trying to describe this in a post days ago, but did a poor job of it. They seem to happen for several days, not all day but multiple times per day, and not every single day, but for a couple of days  in a row. Usually, my seizures begin with an aura, then cluster and so I need to take Ativan to stop them. But, these auras stop, which is new for me, then come back later , with a space of time in between them. I am going to talk with my neurologist at my appointment  in a couple of weeks about this. I encourage you to do the same.

I have had 1 aura... Auras are warnings to some people that a larger and stronger MAY happen. It does not mean it will. Aura are essentially seizures themselves

Ask them about a medication

Ask them about a medication which can stop the clusters from happening.
