Jana, so sorry for your aunt; I know you are worried. I have had epilepsy for almost 45 years. The auras you mentioned with migraines are probably simple partial seizures. I know I have them before they spread into a complex partial. Sometimes I will have a sense of deja vu a week or so before it starts. My seizures are connected to hormone fluctuations. They started at puberty, and now at menopause, they have lost any sense of pattern.
