Does anyone have a feeling that before a sezure they feel like there head is swelling and they feel like they are walking on air or something soft but can hear people still taking a round me then the same day I have a sezure or next day or two days later I have a sezure it seems a silly question

I know what you mean Emma. I do have times when I spot clues here and there at times. The one example you mentioned about having one in the public is a perfect example. I wouldn't realized that I seizure , if it wasn't for the weird stares I've gotten from other people. Another clue that's happened to me , would be when I was drinking or eating something. The next. Moment it would be all over me and yet I don't remember the second before I seizure.

I sometimes can feel them but mostly the stronger the seizure the less of a worning. For me it feels like my eyes are being pulled out of my head an like everyone is tremendously mad and upset with me. It is VERY IMPORTANT to be in a happy loving manner around her when she comes out!!!

Everyone who have Auras are different and some may be same. Then there are people like me who don't have any auras of any type and do not know when I'm going to seizure. Unless my families or friends see me having one.

it matters on what part of the brain is damaged. For my case it's my occipital lobe so I feel like something is tugging at my eyes. If I feel it strong enough it looks like I am seeing everything like a kaleidoscope or I feel blind in my left eye and I'm afraid two step or move my body in that direction. Other ways I feel them come on is flashing lights above the top of my eyes. Quite frequently when I am having conscious seizures my eyes don't want to work together I think because of the drowsiness of the medication and my right eye get too lazy. It is so hard to put up with not being able to focus with both eyes and a look it gives me when I see myself in the mirror.
