No Auras, No Warning.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I don't have any warnings. One minute, I'm fine, the next minute, I'm loopy. I have temporal lobe complex partial seizures. Does anyone else have experience with this and how did you learn to cope or even begin to predict an oncoming seizure?

Thanks for any help and I hope everyone has a wonderful day! :-)

Only time I haven't had any warnings is when I'm asleep

I had right temporal lobe complex partial seizures with auras. But after having surgery I have no kind of warning. I still have seizures but the only way I know if I've had one. Is for someone to tell me or I've hurt myself. I have no memory of what happened.

I used to have auras of the on coming of seizures. However, over time the auras stopped. I still get about a half of a second warning and then Boom--another strong seizure!! Coping with the seizures are always tough for me. My friends ask if I'm ok, but other people just stop & stare. The little clues of the oncoming of a seizure tended to leave me over a period of time. Not to sound too stupid, but hang in there. Keep asking your doc for something better.

I too , don't have auras. I never know when I'm seizuring. My family and friends tell me when I have them if they have witnessed one . Other than that if I'm just by myself I don't have any idea that I had one . Now every now and than I'd notice little clues that may give away that I had a seizure. I may of been standing and the next I find myself on , the floor. Or I could of been eating or drinking something, the next I notice that most of my food and drink has spilt all over on the table and floor.

The thing I had to do is admit that this maybe going on my life time and I will never have auras . That was how I cope with it. When I'm around others who know me well , I trust them to alert me about my seizures.
