Does anyone feel an aura before their child has a sz?
Sun, 05/06/2007 - 08:23Topic: Parents & Caregivers
My daughter is 20 months and most of the time before she shows any signs of having a seizure, I feel funny. Like someone is sneaking up on me. Or i feel panicky. She could be sleeping just fine in her seat in the car while we are driving and all of a sudden i feel like someone is in the seat behind me I'll look at her and then she will have a sz.
I am just wondering if I am imagining this or if parents can feel auras too.

Thank you for responding. It is probably mothers intuition. Maybe i was a dog in my other life. Whatever it is I am glad that it happens it does give me a heads up when the seizures happen. Thank you again!

dogs can sense when people are going to have a seizure, it could be possible that you have this same sense, it is possible that some people can be sesitive enough to detect changes in someone else's brain waves, maybe it's one of the extra senses that come with being a mom.
