Does anyone else feel like you know when your seizure is coming?

Hey, I'm new...I've had epilepsy since I was about 11...I'm almost 18 now. Anyways, sometimes, most days when I'm about to have a seizure, throughout the day, I have these weird "feelings". I can't really describe it, but I think there is a word for it, like a warning signal I guess. I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about. But the feeling is really weird, like all of a sudden, I get the chills, and my body feels cold, and I get this weird feeling, almost like a da sha vuu, like I remember "thinking" this thought before, but then I forget it. I don't know...it's very weird, and I know I'm probably not making any sense. Anyways, I know I'm not having a seizure then because I am fully conscious and don't make any movements. But I might have a few of those moments through out the day leading up to my seziure.

Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone else got thos feelings, since I suspect it's related to my epilepsy. Or maybe you want to share any other ways you know you're seziure is coming on.

I have complex partial seizures by the way.

I have warning sign of feeling, feel like my whole body coming to heat and white pale on my face as anxiety, emerging loss and feel like Im going to have blood sugar is low to passed it out then start seizure. I had struggle anxiety and difficult to control of my emotion like super exciting it' can cause feel pale as lightning thou my face (blood vein) it' pretty scary. During seizure i can remember what i see (consous) when people help me but not remember when fell to hit my head some, If I have blood sugar low also can have seizure.
