They are now called Partial Awareness, rather than Absence. If I urinate, often I recover quickly. If not, I did need to sleep a lot. My Triggers are not sleeping well or enough, eating well or enough, being overheated and stress.

Somehow the need to urinate has always happened before my seizures. It may be a source of stress, one of my triggers. Some other common ones are not eating well or enough, not sleeping well or enough are others.

An aura is actually a focal aware seizure.
It isn’t the start of a seizure, it is a seizure of just one half of your brain.
If you have loss of consciousness, after an aura, it’s bc the seizure activity has crossed over and now includes both hemispheres of your brain.

An aura is a slight seizure that generates a stronger to take full effect. You may be able to find what aura may feel like if, you do have auras, or remember knowing what form of seizure, and where the seizure is generated. for example, a Focal, Temporal lobe seizure you may have feeling, known as a FAS or Focal Awareness Seizure, of upset stomach, falling, slight sound of something not really there, odd taste, smell, DeJa'Vu, blurring of vision, seeing double. and more. The seizure may just last seconds may be hours. Also, some time that weak seizure doesn't build enough strength to affect any other part or action of the body. Known as a "false seizure". Also, some time may have aura and not remember it! Hope you get great success finding of the best.
