Thanks Randy! I have the tonic clonic seizures also, but the focal or aura seizures are what I have the most. The hospital just does the same thing every time I go to ER. They just give me fluids and do yet another cat scan or mri and then send me home with no new information. If I go unconscious or it last for more than 5 minutes I always go.

Having 9 aura seizures in a row is really concerning, even if they feel familiar. This situation needs medical attention — please don't wait this out at home.

Here's why this is urgent: - Multiple seizures back-to-back are a key reason to call emergency services, even if each one feels "normal"
- Seizure clusters can Show Full Answer

Having 9 aura seizures in a row is really concerning, even if they feel familiar. This situation needs medical attention — please don't wait this out at home.

Here's why this is urgent: - Multiple seizures back-to-back are a key reason to call emergency services, even if each one feels "normal"
- Seizure clusters can escalate into status epilepticus, which is when seizures last too long or happen too close together without recovery — this is a medical emergency
- The pattern could change without warning, and being alone puts you at greater risk

Please call 911 or have someone take you to the emergency room now, especially if you don't have a rescue medication on hand or it isn't working.

This is one of those moments where it's much better to get checked out and be told everything is fine than to wait and have things get worse. Your safety matters. 💙

Mark I have had several mri’s and cat scans and eeg. They can’t really explain why I have them.
