An Aura is many things. They can range from a smell that no one else smells, (i.e. burnt rubber, or a fishy smell that’s just to name two). Aura’s also May involve tasting something metallic in your mouth or even something as simple as a flavor of some sort that is not usual.
Take for instance, one of my Auras is the smell of isopropyl alcohol. The (95% kind). Yes I can tell the difference in the power of the smell. No one else will smell what I smelling. When this happens to me it is a warning that a Larger seizure may be coming. For me that is my warning of a Grand-mal (aka Tonic Clonic) The one where I fall and begin to shake all over.
Another type of Aura I have is numbness and tingling behind both of my ears, (which is still part of my Temporal Lobe) -sometimes I don’t have a bigger seizure after that, and other times I blackout and can’t hear anything and also lose tract of time (memory). I have other Auras as well but to many to post here. Déjà vu is another type of an Aura. It’s where you feel like you have been somewhere or experienced something before but it has never actually happened.
These are just some examples of what an Aura is like. Most of the time when an Aura comes , the person having the Aura is fully aware of what is happening to them, but may not realize that it is a small seizure.
I hope this helps explain what an Aura could be. Numbness, tingling, & dizziness are also other examples of an Aura. (Petite-mal).

Interesting I did not know that!! I will have to try that!! I love this group!! Thank you very much!!!

Most of the time I know but occasionally there are times that I don’t know I’m having them. I can just tell by the way I’m feeling.

There are several types of siezers the most famous is Grand Maul some people look zoned out and some faint like me I had to go to a sleep study to get properly diagnosed I am on meds now that help control them I take @ 6 am & 6 pm along with eating it does help.
