Auras But No Seizure?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Lately I've been feeling my auras like if I am going to get a seizure. Numbness in face, tingling feeling, dizziness, healthier breathing. So I lay down and try to relax and prepare myself as much as I possibly can for my attack, though how can you really prepare yourself ? Haha. But anyways.. I feel these auras and no seizure. Does this happen to anyone?? What does it mean ?

I had that a few times but usually breathe regularly and drink a glass of water. I may have been thinking too hard as Epis do and stopped breathing. Sometimes laying down helps or counting your blessings and focusing on what and who you love and the positive aspects of life

I used to get those too before I had surgery. On a bad day I would get 2 sometimes 3 in a 16 hour period. I sometimes went 2 - 3 days without feeling anything. Thankfully I had a wife who was sensitive to my condition and would guide me to a chair until it passed. I only had a seizure about every 5 years until I was 21. After that it came about every 2 to 3 years until I had surgery at 48. There isn't too much to do except sit or lie down and ride it out.

My 10 year old daughter does the same, she will feel like she's going to have a seizure and it not happen, thank god that it doesn't happen but occasionally when she feels like that she actually has them but it causes alot of anxiety.

Before I had corrective brain surgery in 1998 I used to experience auras almost daily - sometimes 2 or 3 times in a day. I only had actual seizures about once every 8 to 10 years.
