Sometimes I do. Sometimes I smell cardboard before I have a grand mal seizure. When I smell cardboard, I don't have enough time to tell someone, I have the grand mal seizure within 2 seconds. Sometimes I do have hallucinations when I don't smell cardboard even if that's smelling something that's not there (not cardboard) or something else. When I smell something that's not there that's not cardboard, I don't have a grand mal seizure after.

Thanks for the feed back. I also when I feel the auras will find a safe place no matter where that is even if I’m out I will go down to the floor. I know the Dr said it’s the postical stage I’m told I say weird things. I’ve also thought I’ve seen things that weren’t there
I’ve also looked at the room may get larger and larger
I’m learning the stages and some of them are seizures. I’ve been diagnosed over 10 years ago but the posical stage( hallucinations) are worse
Strange stuff. The brain is something! Thanks again for responding.

Yes, sometimes I can feel them coming on.

I really can't answer that. Because at the time of my auras i would always panic to put myself in a safe situation where i can sit down. Two seconds later the seizure has taken over me.
