Hello, long time registered member here though I haven't been on the forum in months.
First just a paragraph or so on my story. I have partial seizures, so I am fully aware when are coming on and I am conscious throughout.
I started having seizures in October 06 and it was a regular thing until December 07 when I started taking 3 epilem pills a day. I had one seizure after that since last night in August 2008.
So I was extremely happy as to how my progress was going, and as it was over a year I thought I had it firmly under control.
Now onto my question. I tried a new aftershave wednesday and the smell really got to me. From about 7pm to 2am I had these auras and tremors of the muscle when I had my seizure at 2am. I firmly believe it was this smell that brought it on and was wondering if this can be accurate or not.
Also another question. It is quite complex describing what auras mean to people, they don't really understand in the sense of my feelings. But I know that I am lucky in the sense I have this warning and others don't.
Thanks
Edward
