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.

Please help me. My Neurologist acts like I am nuts. I told him about my auras and it was like he had never heard of it. These are the type's of auras I have had. I smell a pungent odor or sometimes I have a sweet smelling odor and lately it has been the aroma of smelling the best pot of coffee ever brewed. Only to discover there is no coffee. I do not automatically have a seizure but I know that one is coming. Sometimes it can be days or a week, but I know it is coming. Before that is was dea ja veu (probably not spelled correctly) like been there done that and then sometimes I experience a feeling of floating over myself in the bed, and I can see everything going on. Sometimes I can even take off and float in mid-air, I feel so light. And like some I just get a gut feeling that one is coming on. Please tell me that I am not bonkers.I have had two EEG'S and the first one didn't detect anything and I just had one on 5/13/2014 don't know how it will turn out but when they started the light show I went into a full blown seizure. I had two of them one right behind the other. I have been on several types of medication but the one that seemed to work the best was the Tegretol until they changed it to the generic brand. And it quit working and I explained this to my doctor and he put me on Keppra 2000 mg. Now I tremble all the time. What's a person to do. I give up.

I have had Epilepsy my doctor speculates based on my symptoms my whole life, but I wasn't diagnosed till recently b/c well money kept me from going to doctor. When I was young the aura I got generally was a sense of fullness in my mouth like I had a metal pipe there or something. I also get what feels like tingles, chills, and sometimes a massive rush of endorphins coupled with prickly sensations in one side of the head. Since I've started medicine the auras are very persistent and a bit more creepy feeling I can't explain it exactly like someone raking their fingers inside of you...I also get tightness in my palms w/burning, sometimes I'll get trembles in the arm and I usually start to space out and lose focus.
