An aura is a warning sign when a seizure is coming on.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member aww I’m sorry I used to get pretty strong panic attacks, I also don’t get an aura at all.

I’ll rarely have an aura (odd taste) before a seizure. I usually just have an aura and not even go into a seizure. I mark auras on my RNS and doctors will find seizure activity even if I didn’t go into a seizure.

Always did. I got scared for no reason. When I felt this, I started talking or singing and quite often, it went away.

Mainly weird smells and high anxiety. Sometimes a complex partial will not follow so I'm aware when the auras happen. If I lose concisiosness I don't remember
