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.

Just yesterday I was at a parade, and I had to sit down and close my eyes for a few. I don't know if it was an aura, but suddenly there was just TOO MUCH GOING ON. Got this feeling like I had to get out of there...not panic, just total excess stimulation. Is this what you mean?

I used to get an extremely strong sense of fear before every seizure but had no time to react - the seizure followed immediately. ~sol
