Hormone-related szs are very common. There is actually a name for this. It's called Catamenial Epilepsy. They can occur from periods, or you can be like me. Mine come from very late periods or preg (without med). For this reason, I had a tubal ligation after my son was born, and good thing. He was dx'ed with autism at 2 1/2. (I also have a 16 yo daughter.)

This aura you describe is very similar to one I had a few years ago. It followed the normal pattern of my others but got stuck in the "panic mode." I must have panicked for at least five minutes. It felt like an utter eternity. Thank God, my husband was right there and was able to get me through it. It did stop before becoming a TC, but to this day, I'm not sure how.
