Had my first aura when I was 8 almost 9 years old. I was getting dressed for school and I saw a cartoon on the TV, only the TV we had was not in my room, so what my mind was telling me was happening wasn't real. Went to the Dr and found out what I had and that he wasn't going to prescribe me anything then because the brain is still growing. Also there were very few meds at that time. I didn't then very often either. Never affected my school, sports, college or professional life, even after my operation and didn't retire until I was 67. Just hope you can find a great solution. Good luck and thanks for the feed back.

Thank you for your kind words @smokry777
My first experience with seizures was the same as yours. I always said to my mother when the aura came that started that the movie was about to start, feeling some weird smell and taste in my mouth. As you said this movie was only in my mind.
I am very happy to hear that it has never affected your studies, professional life and sports. Fingers crossed to continue this way!!!!
I did my studies, had a professional corp life and practiced many sports, some of them even professionally (like sailing). But in 2016/2017, things started to change. But I must confess, I have abused, I was quite a workaholic at that time. I hope to be back to work one day. Going back to my previous professional activity I feel is no longer possible, because it requires much of my memory which has been affected. But I see other possibilities and I am about to start some studies this coming April to be able to do this career change. Enjoying it 🙂
Let's keep in touch!
