How exactly do aura's feel
Mon, 05/15/2006 - 11:30How exactly do aura's feel? Can you have aura's and not have an actual seizure? I think I had some this weekend. I went off into like a "spacy" feeling. Like I was tingling and I couldn't make myself snap out of it for a few seconds. I have had a headache since I has these feelings. I have had E a long time, but I am new to all the terminology and so forth. Thanks.

I have just started having seizures 3 weeks ago and my life has been tipped upside down.
I feel I am most often experiencing auras than not.
I often feel spacey, pins and needles in my hands,wrist and feet. I also have a heavy cold prickly feeling in my arms and back . This is so weird.
I seem to be having 2 to 6 seizures a day which affect my speech and movement.
DOES ANYONE feel strange more often than not?
My life is on hold... Seeing specialist this week. Really want to start meds but also afraid of side affects. So scarey and frustrating.

I had auras recently and I always have this "scary" type of feeling when I have one. Sometimes the fear sensation is so overpowering that I have a hard time breathing.
Yes, you can have an aura without having a full fledge seizure. It's happened to me many times. I can always remember the auras, but the seizure for some reason is beyond me. Someone has to tell me what happened when I wake up from it. By the way, I had a seizure last Thursday, Friday and an aura yesterday and this morning.
