Auras
I was wondering if anyone can describe what their aura feels like. I find it so difficult to put into words. When I was on the bus I just got that feeling. That's what I've called it since I was a child, a feeling as I didn't know what it was and I didn't tell anyone. It's like this nauseous feeling with a smell I can't describe but it's not a nice smell. I have this feeling in my whole head almost, twitching in my left arm and leg and i just feel so odd.It's just so bizarre. I still can't… read more
I don’t always have a seizure after I have an aura and I don’t have an aura before every seizure so auras are no warning signs for me.

Auras for me is a sign a bad seizure is on it's way. years back a neuro told me to take an Ativan(Lorazepam) as soon as I feel an aura. For me it will stop a bad seizure 90% of the time if I take it soon enough. Lydia the best way I would describe an aura is an abnormal feeling or sensation before a seizure. Stay safe and well
With me I don’t have them but I can tell u that auras warn u before u go into a sezuire and it’s a few secs before hand so if stood up try and sit down as quickly as u can or u will fall and they r drop seizures, and if sat stay were u r and try and tell someone if u can by shouting
And that will help.
From what I have understood of Auras , is that they are a small form of a seizure . They are a warning sign, to let people know that a bigger seizure may come.
Then there is the sensation experiences where the person may taste , smell, or hear something that isn’t there .
Lydia, you described it very well, it gives you time to position yourself so you won't be hurt.
