My neurologist thinks im weird. I actually love the feeling of my auras. A very strong familiar feeling , The very intense euphoric deja vu feeling flows through me like a jolt of electricity which lasts for about 10 seconds. I try to stay as still as possible to make it last longer. But what goes up must come down, I feel like crap after, I get depressed and just dont care about anything, nothing could bother me.

Peoples Aura can differ. When I get mine, I feel this impending doom type of feeling, then I get this weird pain in my esophagial area, and I feel nauceous, dizzy and spacy, I feel like I cant breathe but of course I am breathing, then I get tingly feelings that run up one arm across to the other. I sit down when these happen because usually it leads to me dropping. When I come out of it I feel extremely tired like I got hit by a bus and i need to sleep alot and I also crave something fatty. Sometimes I wake up with the insides of my lips bit or cramps in my mucsles like I ran a marathon in my sleep, I even once bent my finger back in a seizure because I grabbed my hand and just locked up. Prior to all these I get phantom smells. Mind you I dont really have a sense of smell in my "normal" daily life. It seems for me, I smell pastries.. yes, weird I know.. Once I was smelling Blueberry muffins for days, another time it was distinctly Krispy Kreme glazed donuts. Ask me why I have no idea, weird I know. Once in a while I do smell flowers, but lately it's been the baked goods LOL..
