@nadinen I had a seizure when I was 21. No more after this. I was having auras thereafter, although for many years doctors always told me this sounds just like anxiety and I wasn’t aware I was actually experiencing auras. Finally I discovered Mayo in Rochester MN. They were able to capture these experiences with an eeg and told me they were auras. After about a year of trial and error with meds and tons of frustration on my part, and them as well, I was put on Keppra, right after it first came out, and haven’t ever had an aura since. Sometimes it just takes time.

The problem is i have had mri and eeg and no results..ever.. nothing ever shows..

I even did a sleep deprived eeg.

I am worried to do these again and be told i am just hallucinating or have anxiety..

I am tegratol i think it is controlling the seizures very well but the auras.. maybe i should change my drug? However i am too scared to try this

Did they tell u a aura is a seizure... or could these be side affects from medications.. i am very lost, i just want answers 🙁
