Auras without Seizures | June 15, 2020
Do any of these sensations sound familiar to you?
Suddenly you’re sweating, flushed, become pale or have goosebumps.
Your stomach feels queasy, like you’re going to puke.
There’s a foreboding or fear that something awful is about to happen.
You feel like a mess emotionally.
Maybe you feel an odd sensation, like a gentle breeze, buzzing or ringing sounds.
Voices that aren’t really there, a nasty taste in your mouth, weird smells, visual distortions.
You feel like you have zoom eyeballs.
Visual and spatial perceptions are off. (Sort of like “Alice in Wonderland” except this is NOT wonderful!)
There’s a distortion of time.
Maybe like an out-of-body experience.
Déjà vu. You’ve been here before.
You’re seeing people and places or experiencing events from the past. Yet, new places and things seem familiar – as if they’ve happened before.
Or maybe it’s the other way around.
You’re uncomfortable with your surroundings and things that are familiar to you.
Well-known places may suddenly seem strange.
It’s an aura, right?
BUT WHERE’S THE SEIZURE?
Are you going crazy?
Are you imagining things?
Nope.
You’re probably having a Simple Partial Seizure.
(I know, I was blown away, too!)
The aura IS the seizure.
An aura is actually a small seizure itself — one that has not spread into an observable seizure that impairs consciousness and your ability to respond.
You don’t lose consciousness.
In other words, something is going on in your brain.
But it isn’t spreading.
Sometimes this abnormal electrical activity tapers off.
At other times, it spreads and leads to severe seizures.
Auras can occur as a warning that a bigger seizure is about to happen.
And sometimes they can occur just by themselves.
A way to distinguish between the two is if you have no movement at all, then it’s considered an aura.
If you have actual movement, then it’s considered a Simple Partial Seizure.
One person describing her auras said “The sensation is kind of like lighting a firework that turns out to be a dud.
The fuse starts hissing, but then instead of the firework going off (i.e. having a full blow seizure) it just fades and stops after about 10-15 seconds.”

About the author
Epilepsy Talk 
I had a lot of simple partial seizures, auras with déjà vu. For instance the radio is on and I know (or ‘think I know’) what will be said.
Dilantin wasn’t effective at treating the simple partial seizures but, in my case, worked well preventing tonic-clonic seizures.
I kind of liked the auras sometimes–don’t tell anybody.
With the proper mindset I could ‘lead myself’ to auras. It was documented through EEGs when I was under observation for two weeks at the Montréal Neurological Institute (not far from Avenue Docteur-Penfield).

Goodmorning Phylis 😊. WOW YOU HAVE ESP I SWEAR!!!!! Well you seem to have “hit the nail on the head”!! For me anyways. The funny part is according to my (VERY DISMISSIVE ABRUPT ARROGANT neurologist) I was told it’s because of damaged nerves in my neck that is causing me to have problems!! That it’s not his purpose for seeing me and I would have to go back to my family doctor!! I think it’s time to TRY and go to my family doctor anyways. And maybe try acupuncture. What’s really weird about it is it appears what seems to stop the panicky feeling of fighting a seizure is halted with THE LOWEST DOSE of “lorazepam”!! It’s very discouraging and frustrating to try so hard to help myself only to be told “I AM UNHELPABLE!! (Sorry I know I spelt it wrong. My bad). I believe it’s a “focal seizure”, but because I refuse to try “keppra” and the “toperimate” (I’m allergic to generic medications and it did not help me at all!!) and my pharmacist told me only the neurologist could change it to the “BRAND NAME MEDICATION” which is actually “Topomax” and he never did. Maybe by no fault of his own I don’t know. Either way I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE!! It is the worst to be stuck in and I would LOVE TO GET OUT OF IT!! And get a new neurologist to! Funny how the people who are supposed to help us make us try to feel so helpless!!

It doesn’t make other “NEUROLOGISTS OR EPITOLOGISTS AND NEUOLOGICAL PROFESSIONAL” LOOK GOOD OR HELPFUL AT ALL!!!!!!! And it leaves a feeling a helplessness and hopelessness in the epileptic, their spouses, children, families, and friends FURIOUSLY STUNNED!!!!!!! I think that’s what’s even more hurtful and upsetting than actually having a seizure!! ALL ABOUT THE MONEY NOT THE HUMAN!!!!!!!

My auras were “scared feelings”. If I felt scared for no reason, I knew a seizure was on its way. What I started doing was singing when I felt the aura. I was convinced I couldn’t black out if I’m using my brain at the time and I still say it worked 80-90% of the time.

Hi Phylis and Ed,
I do something similar. I try to divert my attention to reading when I feel the auras. I run to my chair or my bed what ever is close, if I’m home, and wrap up in a blanket to try and calm myself. Plus I read anything I can get my hands on
It’s so good to get the confirmation that the auras are the seizures. I too have been brushed off by the “experts”. I knew these were not nothing.
Hope you are having a good day

I definitely had the same sensation and they came once a month for years. After having a hysterectomy with one ovary removed, I came to realize they were now coming every other month. My understanding was that when they remove an ovary the other will take over. But, it was not my imagination because my husband would record them and he noted the change, not me. All of this stopped after a few more years but I still take the Dilantin (generic). But I’m wondering if I can stop it all together. I haven’t seem a specialist in years because my family doctor just orders the prescription. I’ve experienced what appears to be anxiety out of nowhere with no situational explanation for it. Can it be my Dilantin level that I haven’t checked in years. Who knows? Any comment appreciated.

Yes. I definitely think it could be your Dilantin level. Especially since your blood levels haven’t been checked in years.
However, I don’t think you should stop your medication, without consulting a neurologist.
Your family doctor is not a specialist and probably knows little about Dilantin. He’s just following by rote.
YOU know that Dilantin has consequences. He probably does not. And you know your body better than anybody else.

I had unknowingly been experiencing auras two years before finally being diagnosed after suffering a granmal. In my 50s. I have focal seizures, an occasional complex but mostly simple partials and are pretty well controlled although not completely. I had a bad head injury age 11 that I’m sure was concussion but was never checked out by a physician. I had severe migraines and blank outs that my siblings noticed but laughed it off as me just ‘spacing’ out. When I entered my puberty years the migraines stopped and I had no indication of epilepsy until my 50s – when menopause kicked in and the seizures started. I truly believe it was hormonal although my doctor seems to disagree.

There are many hormones besides estrogen and testosterone. They interact with each other, with your brain and with your meds.
OTC melatonin does me in, nearly fatal suicidal depression. And the balance of your hormone levels changes constantly, making testing difficult.
I also tried reading the Web equivalent of “Hormones for Dummies.” It is not for the impatient or the faint of heart, and that’s without epilepsy in the equation.

I used to ignore & even tried to hide all these sensational, confusing & disorienting strikes until I realized that I get these auras before every time I ended up having grand mal seizures.
Therefore my auras became warning alarms to the next incoming grand mal seizures, providing me with the opportunity to let the people around me know that “I think I’m going to have a seizure”, while I immediately move to safe place to sit & keep my brain active, diverting from the auras.
The most memorable moments of my auras happened to be in Optomotrist’s chair while I was being examined for prescription glasses with a laser test.
While the laser beams for my eye exam triggered my auras, the very few seconds of the auras before my imminent grand mal seizure helped me to avoid further physical injury warning the eye doctor.
While my auras can turn false alarms for my grand mal seizures, I still consider my auras to be important signals to watch for the next grand mal seizure.
Thank you for sharing this informative article, now I can see why all my auras don’t always end up turning into the obvious grand mal seizures I’ve come to expect.
