A question re: an aura & after the seizure??

Yes, I know what you are talking about. It is a very uncomfortable feeling...very scary. Are you certain that these auras haven't progressed into full-fledged seizures? Is anyone there with you to tell you if something does happen? A couple of months ago, I started having these auras all the time. I tried to rationalize: Oh, I'm just tired. Then, I had one at the grocery store while waiting for the deli. What got me there was a time lapse. The service people always ask if they are slicing thick or thin enough...but all I remember is asking for some turkey to be sliced, the aura hit, then the service person handed me my bag of turkey. I don't remember the person slicing, nor do I remember them asking about the thickness. I could not reasonably explain this loss of time, and that meant that I'd probably had a seizure (complex partial).That incident was enough to convince me that I needed to call my neuro ASAP. When I experience auras during the day, my neuro explained, it is a warning signal that my seizures aren't under control. Chances are, I am also having seizures along with these auras. He upped my medication level, and I haven't had one since. Your post doesn't mention whether or not you are being treated, but I will assume that you are. Have you contacted your neuro? If not, maybe you should start there. If you can get those seizures under control, the auras should fade away too. I know that when I'm having a tough time, I'm afraid to do things too. But, I'm also afraid of having seizures in front of my little girl, and that's enough to motivate me to do whatever I have to do to fix things. Best of luck to you!Heather

every time i have a seizure i get an aura before it. It is a perfectly normal thing. They do kind of scare me though, so I do know how you feel
