I am not sure. I just seem to occasionally experience the "aura" that i used to experience right before my seizures but a seizure does not occur.

That must be a bit unsettling. I recommend asking your doctor about it.

Well thats the problem. It was 9 yrs ago on 2/23/16 and my brain surgeon since then has passed away. He was one of the best in the world and now I do not know who to contact.
