Weird aura and trigger questions

Fri, 08/12/2016 - 22:50
I've had epilepsy for about four years. I had three gran mal seizures in 2013 but none since starting medication, I have had a bunch of breakthrough auras though. Sometimes after an aura I think I know everyone I see. Also, mangoes are a trigger for me. I've read mangoes can be a trigger for dogs but I haven't read anything about them being recorded as a trigger for any humans. Anyone else have either the recognition thing or mangoes for a trigger?

each persons trigger is their own. You will not see heat as a trigger.  but if I ge too hot too fast that will trigger a seizure.as for auras they are seizures themselves.
