Can you tell that I'm having a seizure (aura)

Can you tell that I'm having a seizure (aura)

I was having a bad aura, in the back seat of an uber, I couldn't scream, because my mom was asleep next to me. We had a 3 hour Uber ride home, I kept thinking to get out of the car, and take off running, but that would be stupid while we were going 70mph on the freeway. To not scare the uber driver (who kept looking at me in the rear view) I tried to stay silent, didn't want to ruin the ride or awake my mom. This went on for an hour, I counted 6 auras in 1 hour, then I decided how about going to sleep. Slept until we were 40 minutes from home, fortunate for me I didn't have anymore auras. I decided to take a picture, I noticed that my eyes were red and I was that my hands were shaking, no more auras was an accomplishment. Does anyone have any seizure or aura videos?

Since the diagnosis what's something that you've accomplished? ANYTHING

I've noticed a lot of people say how epilepsy has stopped them from accomplishing their dreams, but what have you accomplished since the diagnosis?

I am not a cult leader

My kids are my biggest critics, sometimes (often) they make me think about things from other’s POV, and wonder does anyone see it how they see it. Anyhow, my son watched the podcast while I was LIVE this morning, we spoke (LIVE) about how we’re gonna talk about cults on Wednesday, that’s when he said “I kind of checked out your subreddit, you could totally seem like and could be seen as a cult leader, watch How To Become A Cult Leader on Netflix, you have an influential personality.” I laughed it off, but made me think, what does everyone here might think, quick question for those who have joined the Zoom meets or watched the podcast, do I seem like a cult leader?

Did I actually have a seizure?

If phantom smells is an aura, and an aura is a seizure, I just had a seizure, right? Smelt like someone stepped in dog poop, It lasted at least 90 minutes, does that mean that I was having a cluster of auras?

Phantom Smells

Do you get the phantom smells? Do they ever progress to TCs or focal seizures? I get the phantom smells semi-often, I've smelt burning rubber, garbage, fruity smells, even BBQ, but right now it smells like someone stepped in dog poop. It's horrendous, it won't go away and it isn't like I can run from it so, just annoyed waiting for it to go away, I'd rather the burning rubber smell. For now I guess I'll smoke some good flower and hope for the best, but how are your phantom smells, what scents have you smelt? Is there anything that you do to end it? Someone said it's an aura, as I'm eating oreos, the smell is being masked as long as the oreos are near my nose 😆 hopeless

Your seizure journey is turned into a movie, who plays your role? Why?

I already feel like my life is a big joke at times, and I like joking around, so, I'd like to see Johnny Knoxville, the funny part would be waiting for me to come out and then Johnny Knoxville comes out, someone yells out "I thought Pookie was black" 😆
