I’ve read a lot about some people having auras before an epileptic seizure. I know there have been times where I’ve been physically ill or have literally felt like I seeing a big red sign flashing in my brain warning me that a seizure was coming. I wonder if other people have ever experienced that big red sign sensation before a seizure hit.
Hi Elizabeth
I have an Apple Watch too. I think the fall detection feature works after movement stops for a period of time after the bump of the initial fall. For example if your arm or leg… read more
These are just a few things i worry about for the future.
I had my little ones right after my brain surgery & was on Clobazam. I didn't have to change my meds. or deal with seizures then. If I was to get pregnant now I would have to stop at least one of my… read more

What is the difference between an aura and a petit seizure. When I have an aura in which can last for hours I feel like a riot is going on inside me. People have told me to say something. I don't always have a seizure. I don't want to be the boy that cried wolf all the time.
Thank you everyone for your patience with me. I am new on this on line and I don't know what I'm doing all the time.
Hope and pray everyone has a great day.
It's all confusing particularly when different doctors call it different seizures. I hope you get as much out of this group as I do. Everyone is so helping and brings a bit of humor, spiritual and… read more
So after reading I've read many say they were out or doing something they had a siezure and kept doing what they were doing. Other than now knowing that aoras don't think I'm spelling correctly, are a siezure I guess..... If not what does everyone mean? They weren't flopping on the floor..... I now that's not the only type but I'm still confused.
Thanks for helping me try to understand. I figure asking here directly would help me more than a million things on the G search engine
Thanks… read more
The way I feel post-Ictal significantly indicates I had one
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Tasha great to hear about no “aura’s”. May I ask what were the new meds you were prescribed to get to 0 episodes?
I am interested in anyone possibly knowing what type of seizure would cause what I guess is an aura. I feel really weird before it happens. My body starts tingling. I start feeling disoriented. Like I’m going to pass out. But during my last seizure I didn’t fully lose consciousness. But I was having convulsions my body was tightening. I felt out of body
I couldn’t control it. I remember bits and pieces. But was told what else occurred. There was a lot of confusion after. I couldn’t speak I was… read more

I was wondering how long auras last for different people on here? Sometimes I get the aura a day or even longer before a seizure and the auras last a while sometimes too.
Hi, MarileeGramith, I was told that Aura is a partial seizure years ago as well, I now have complex partial seizures, and there are 52 types of seizures.
My seizures are typically me being stuck in a Dejavu-like state or a dream or something, I’ve never been able to fully describe them or remember details. Anyway, before getting on a medication that has controlled the seizures last year, I would sometimes have these panicky feeling with an “I’ve been here before” feeling. When that would happen I always said I feel like I’m fighting off a seizure. This hasn’t happened to me in over a year but yesterday I had such a strong feeling that I’d been in… read more
So are there different kind of auras for the same person? Earlier this year I had 2 separate times when I felt really weird, more physically though like tingly and a little out of body. Very minor. I… read more
