Seizure “auras”
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve read a lot about some people having auras before an epileptic seizure. I know there have been times where I’ve been physically ill or have literally felt like I seeing a big red sign flashing in my brain warning me that a seizure was coming. I wonder if other people have ever experienced that big red sign sensation before a seizure hit.

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

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.

Understanding What Type Seizure
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am interested in anyone possibly knowing what type of seizure would cause what I guess is an aura. I feel really weird before it happens. My body starts tingling. I start feeling disoriented. Like I’m going to pass out. But during my last seizure I didn’t fully lose consciousness. But I was having convulsions my body was tightening. I felt out of body

How Do You Know You Had A Siezure?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

So after reading I've read many say they were out or doing something they had a siezure and kept doing what they were doing. Other than now knowing that aoras don't think I'm spelling correctly, are a siezure I guess..... If not what does everyone mean? They weren't flopping on the floor..... I now that's not the only type but I'm still confused.

Thanks for helping me try to understand. I figure asking here directly would help me more than a million things on the G search engine

Thanks… read more

What Is This. A Warning? An Aura? Me Freaking Out?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My seizures are typically me being stuck in a Dejavu-like state or a dream or something, I’ve never been able to fully describe them or remember details. Anyway, before getting on a medication that has controlled the seizures last year, I would sometimes have these panicky feeling with an “I’ve been here before” feeling. When that would happen I always said I feel like I’m fighting off a seizure. This hasn’t happened to me in over a year but yesterday I had such a strong feeling that I’d been in… read more
