Like Stacy3 said, it's a warning signal you may or may not go into a seizure. The auras I had felt like a severe gas pain in the pit of my stomach and/or an out-of-body experience.

Whatā€™s odd is, it seems like itā€™s some kind of seizure, but I actually havenā€™t had a single one all day. So Iā€™m wondering if the food I had affected something.

I Have Questions That Hopefully Some Of You.
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

What is the difference between an aura and a petit seizure. When I have an aura in which can last for hours I feel like a riot is going on inside me. People have told me to say something. I don't always have a seizure. I don't want to be the boy that cried wolf all the time.
Thank you everyone for your patience with me. I am new on this on line and I don't know what I'm doing all the time.
Hope and pray everyone has a great day.

DĆ©jĆ  Vu, Presque Vu And Jemais Vuā€¦ Who Experiences Them All?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

So, just for interest sakeā€¦
Most of us write about our experience with dĆ©jĆ  vu as a sensation/aura, but Iā€™m interested in who else experiences or heard of the other two French terms? Presque vu and Jemais vuā€¦
Presque vu is quite common - itā€™s the ā€œtip of the tongueā€ phenomenonā€¦ you know you know something, but canā€™t remember what you know
Jemais vu, meaning ā€œnever seenā€ - the phenomenon of experiencing a situation that one recognises in some fashion, but nonetheless feels very unfamiliar. I getā€¦ read more
