@jakedduck1 Once my aura starts I don’t have any control at that point to get to a safe place or do what one would normally be able to do prior to a seizure. When I have my aura, I’m already partially started into the seizure. I know that when I have that aura it’s going to be a big one, tonic clonic. I do have auras with the smaller type of seizure, absences, but it is much different. When I have an aura with the absent seizures, I know that it is going to happen immediately and sure enough it does and most of the time I stay cognizant of what is going on and can sometimes pick back up with what I was doing without much time elapsing. However, with the tonic clonic, that is not the case. Once I have that aura and it lasts usually for over a minute, I know the seizure will be very bad. I have no memory of anything once the seizure starts until the seizure has unfolded. There have even been instances where I have had a tonic clonic and continue to do things not knowing that I’m doing them. I’ve had people tell me this when I had one at work several years ago. I don’t know how this is possible. I just know that in someway, it’s almost like a flight or fight response. I do not know how it is possible because the brain is such a complex organ. There are many processes about the brain that even experienced physicians don’t understand. I just know that I’ve experienced some very strange things prior during and after. I don’t necessarily try to understand it, because there’s so much that I don’t understand about it, I look at it more like I guess when something so complexes involved a lot of things are possible that we don’t have answers for.
