Hi Guys,

I had two of these tonight auralike seizures where you kinda get dizzy and it makes everything from your neck up to the top of your head hurt .. and your awake and aware but feel distanced from yourself.. hard to explain anyone have these?

the first thing that made me read this is your title. I had been wondering what they were and now i think that is what i've been having this whole week. The whole thing is really confusing really, but it always has been. I've been having seizures since i was 5 and just in the past 3 years i have been able to know when they were coming and remeber what was happening. I wish i couldnt but nothing will change.
i have one question though. When you have these seizures "aura" or whatever they are called, Do you shake? not like your whole body but your hands? I do and i want to know if any1 else does.
i hope things get better

Hi Hon

thanks for responding... no I don't shake but I exhaust myself from the weird feeling I have and usually sleep about 10 minutes after. These are probably called partials I really don't know and if I am wrong someone please correct me. I think they are pretty freaky and can be brought on by my own mind just going into deep thought....

Koko.....I have the every month just after my period. Is yours any where near? This could be the cause of them. Just a thought though! I hope it helps! Kim
