What Are YOUR Auras Like If You Have Them?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Just curious what others expierience as everyone is different. I typically get a sense of deja vu. Butterfly feeling in the stomach. My body temp feels like it gets really hot then really cold in less than 1 second. I get intense fear. Sometimes a weird smell i cant explain.

Same. Also just out of body experience.

I also have butterflies and deja Vu and can have some nausea and ringing in my ears.

Ditto on almost everything you described, although I used to call it a “feeling of motion when I am sitting still,” and I would always have the taste of burned carrots in my mouth. But you’re right about the sudden fear. Have a good night…

I get this feeling of, “Oh no! Not again!” Then, it feels like I’m leaving my body and floating backwards. I also get a strange feeling in my stomach. When I snap out of it, what seemed like seconds actually turns out to be minutes. Then, all I want to do is sleep. 😴

Yes, there’s research on this site about partially aware temporal lobe epilepsy, but you really need to get a full diagnosis! The tasting of something burning sounds like the burned carrots I used to taste/smell before I would go into a an aura or seizure, but I’m not a doctor, so you really need a neurologist. You can do this, we’re here for you!
