Has anyone ever had an aura starring off but then turns into something called Todd Paralysis where you lose all your muscle can't move at all and have to be rushed to the hospital?

Yes! Before I new that I was having seizures I was rushed to the hospital twice. It was thought that I was having a stroke, but was not. I first had left sided weakness. Secound time I could not lift my legs by my self. Each time I had trouble speaking, migrane, confusion and sever vertigo. Not sure if it was in fact Todds paralysis but that was when all my neurological problems started.

I myself have never heard it either. But I did do a little research on it. On the Epilepsy Foundation site and Wikipedia.
