Wow, 15 in one day — that's a lot to go through, and it makes sense you're looking for others who've experienced something similar. Yes, multiple auras in a single day is something others with epilepsy have reported.

It's worth remembering that auras are technically a type of focal aware seizure themselves, not just a warning sign. So experiencing 15 of them is significant and worth discussing with your neurologist as soon as possible. Members of MyEpilepsyTeam have shared their own aura experiences, which can vary widely, including:

- A rising feeling in the stomach
- Unusual smells or tastes (one member described smelling cardboard before a seizure)
- Visual disturbances, like seeing things in their peripheral vision
- A strong sense of déjà vu or an out-of-body feeling
- Sudden unexplained fear or anxiety

You're right that auras don't typically involve a loss of consciousness, which can feel like a small mercy — but they are still seizure activity in the brain. Research has also shown that seizures can follow patterns tied to time of day or even day of the week, so tracking when your auras occur could be really helpful information to share with your doctor.

Please do reach out to your neurologist about yesterday — 15 auras in a day is something they'll want to know about.
