Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well and keeping positive.

It would be interesting to know how many of you have an aura or get some sort of warning signal before a seizure?

Let's hear your comments and how it affects you if any.

Wishing you all a good weekend ahead!

Good morning Epilepsy warriors! During 30 years of varying forms of seizures I always experienced an aura preceding each seizure.

I did not always understand that this was in fact part of the actual seizure except I would have awareness of it. Awareness would be lost immediately after.

@Mrs E Larkin‍ You are one of the lucky ones to receive an aura.

I get no warning whatsoever and the tonic clonic commences immediately. Wish I did get an aura!

My auras may be a blessing but too brief to be able to seek help! I would already be in a situation unable to communicate! Double edged sword I feel. Thankyou Les Mal for your reply!
