Describing Auras
Posted: 10-24-05 23:10pm

Well, I was going to try & help by posting my aura symptoms, but it would seem they're almost all out there... I think the only thing I can add, that happens to me anyway, is right before the fit, I hear something, don't know what it is, but it repeats itself over & over & over... My last one sounded something like ' eye eye eye eye ' if this makes any sense whatsoever lol it's almost like a repetitive sound or word... Best I can describe it

Hi everyone,

my auras were always pretty much the same.

Between 1 and 5? Minutes before a grand mal i'd sit down/fall over, and start moaning loudly,

i think I was moaning because I "knew" a seizure was imminent. Sadly I was always unable to tell anyone what was bothering me because my mind was so confused I just couldn't find the words, or the thoughts?

When people asked me what's up, i'd seriously try and tell them but end up moaning instead.

All I remember was that it was a feeling of utter alone-ness, hopelessness and fear, terror actually.

Even with people around me it was as-if they weren't really people, just things, i'd be all alone. And scared s*&(less.

The only time my aura was different was once in the car, I was driving to the beach, been seizure free for about a year at the time, I blinked and all of a sudden I had absolutely no idea where I was. I knew I was in my car going somewhere but I couldn't figure out where.
I remember looking at my towel, suntan lotion and beach stuff, and wondering what it's for.

So I pulled over, got out of the car and waited.
About a minute or so? Later it was asif noting had happened, I knew where I was, no seizure followed but I was so shaken-up from the experience I went home, took a bunch of pills and climbed in bed.

Aura's for me, are like angels in disguise, warning me of danger.
Many times i've injured myself, cut my face, hit my head, bit pieces of my tongue etc.. So now when I have an aura I prepare myself.


B.T.W., thank you very much, to everyone who share their experiences here. Talking about my "disorder" made me realise that i'm not so "disordely" as I thought.

:-)
