Mine are on the left side where my seizures come from they say and I'm not sure what causes it. Just looking for help. Thank you.

I get extreme pain the left side of my head due to nerves being cut during a brain surgery. It was already determined the pain could be managed so we are moving forward with managing the pain every five months using trigger shots.

Only on occasion, when I'm not in better control of my seizures... 3-4 a night. Right side. I had a hospital stay for a study on my seizures & they don't know where they start, but the seizure activity ends to my left frontal lobe...

Yes I do at times not sure why but same thing right where my seizures are located. But I found through a hospital stay where they watched me to see what kind of seizures and where they originate that it comes from two parts of my brain.

I thought I only got them from post-surgical side effects. I will put my hands to my head in frustration than apply ice if available and finally use one acetaminophen tablet than than two or if it's worse start with 2. My epileptologist has told me to go through the process quicker. I wonder if it means this is a new variety of aura?
