I love this thread too!! I was trying to describe these odd short feelings to my neurologist just after my surgery in the 90's and he laughed! He winked at me! He gave me a term and winked and told me not to worry. He said some doctors will say you are hallucinating. It will not record as a sz. One month later I was working and that symptom never came back! I married 3 months later!

Great thread. I also had - and am having - what seems to be auras, but they never progress. My surgery was 9 months ago.
I also would like to know how you all are doing.
