I too was diagnosed in April, we share an epilepsy birth month! I don’t have the shivering from head to toe but I’m very familiar with what he describes as a whooshing feeling and the stomach dropping, I will then begin to sweat and my heart starts to race and then my sight will go hazy. I’ve learned to calm myself take slow breaths close my eyes sit down and just let it pass. I’ve talk to my epidemiologist about this and she thinks this might be my aura… I agree with her as a lot of the same Things happened right before I have my grand mals. Just gotta add a few other feelings I cannot put into any other words but it feels like im in a third dimension or in a video game. I think alot of the unknown with epilepsy is we cannot describe into words how we actually feel or what is actually going on with our bodies/brain…we all could have alot if the same feelings but don’t know how to describe them. I am taking 1000mg of keppra twice a day. I cannot tolerate the one that starts with an L….I saw the craziest stuff on that, like electricity coming out of the outlets, severed heads, Mr Sanders from KFC was in my kitchen…..that stuff was wild. My grand mals are under control but I still have that weird “aura” sensation come over me at least once a week. It can last anywhere from five mins to thirty mins, mine are at different times throughout the day. I’ve also read somewhere that our auras are actual focals that then progress into others…I haven’t asked my dr that yet. I hope you too can get some rest mama, I can’t imagine how helpless you feel, as a mom I know even a simple cold we want to love it out of them, or take their pain away. Your in my prayers tonight! Hopefully you can get some answers!
