@nadinen when they caught an aura on the eeg they discovered that what was perceived as an aura was actually another type of seizure. They did then change my treatment plan with new meds.
All along I thought I was having an aura and it was actually a seizure.
An aura is often called a warning and it indeed is just that. But sometimes, as I have learned, an aura might actually be a simple seizure. So maybe catching what we are thinking is just an aura on an eeg might give us different information and send us down a different treatment path. Also, doctors may be able to identify in which part of the brain seizure activity is originating which, I believe, also changes treatment.
Just more thoughts to ask your doctor about and if it might apply to you in any way.
