Even though I don’t go into a seizure after my auras, doctors still find seizure activity on my Rns during my auras
Yes. years ago when things weren't as bad as they are now, i would go months without any seizures. then i would start having auras pop up for hours, days and weeks preceding a cluster of or weeks of seizures. I would also feel this 'thing' or heaviness inside my head and have the urge to hang my head off the side of the bed and shake it vigorously trying to relieve the sensation...they a week or so later i'd start having seizures all over again.
Ive had auras for 23 years after brain surgery. An aura is the beginning of a seizure, but it didnt get worse. I feel a slight pain in my head, the electricity, for a second or two then it goes away. Sometimes my side effects are mild afterwards.

99% of my auras happen without a seizure following it. As a matter of fact I’ve had auras all of my life but my seizures didn’t start until I was 10 years old.
