Hi Christine,
The feelings of aura's are so hard to put into words. For me its like the sudden sense of the present. A sudden awareness of the change in my awareness of now. As our inner senses are felt, the question we ask ourselves is "will this turn to a seizure"? The inner senses feel stronger as we are aware of our current senses more than usual. Others can sometimes notice our change though we feel they can't. We are aware to continue doing what we where but still our aura's are technically a seizure themselves. My taste isn't affected because Trileptal takes away my sense of taste anyway. I always felt this sound in my head, like a tiny click sound in my head which affected my hearing for a second only. I would stick out my hands and notice more shaking than usual which said allot to me! Then it was the time of the present I concentrated on because of the wanting to know if a seizure was coming.
One thing about my auras was that they never came before a seizure. I never had a warning before a seizure. I only had aura's not followed by a true seizure. Take care, keep a smile on your face!

> I'm interested in this too because most of the time I have auras. Sometimes they are like what you described below, other times it's like being really full, like I'm standing outside my body, a metallic taste in my mouth, a smell that's out of place, or feeling like time skipped (I know that sounds weird but I don't know how else to describe it).

> Hello Michelle,
> You mentioned that Aaron has partial seizures. What are his auras like? What does he discribe them as? Just curious. I have partial seizures too. Mine always start as a nauseating rising epigastric sensation. It kind of feels like I'm falling; just a really strange feeling in my gut.
