I Can Go For A Couple Year's Or So Without Having A Seizure But I End Up Having Seizures Again But Worse Than They Were The Time Before

More frequently before they stop for a while again but I feel it & know when I'm going to have another episode just before it happens is that an aura????

Auras and Epilepsy Read Article...

The "funny sensation" you get before a seizure is called an aura. Consider it a blessing in disguise. Not everyone has them. I think last I checked it was 20% of people with epilepsy get a warning (don't quote me).πŸ˜‰

I also have auras before I have seizures and I also have been affected for 15 years having seizures 3 or 2 times in a month

Yes that is an aura and it is a seizure also just on a smaller scale, at least for me. I have them sometimes and I’m then able to stop a more serious seizure from occurring but unfortunately I don’t always get those warnings.
