Question Please help w/ descriptive term

Part of my auras are comprised with a very peculiar sensation throughout my body. It reminds me of dizziness when you stand, and how you can feel blood rushing in your head?? That blood rushing sensation is what I feel all over my body (feels as though it's pushing towards the skin - outward) right as my aura is recognized, and lasts maybe 5 seconds. I get goosebumps, fear, and an indescribable emotion. What is the term for that??

I have to give descriptions of what I experience, to doctors, but I'm not good at finding the words I seek. Please help if you can ~ thank you!

Hi shez,
I would explain the aura sz. just like you have here. If I may ask when this happens do you happen to feel any tingliing in your fingers or hands or do you smell odd odours? These are all symptoms of aura sz. also. The next time this happens to you tighten up all the muscles in your body and make your hands into tight fists for a few seconds, by doing this it can often stop the aura sz. I've been doing it since the 1970's and it stops the aura sz. from going into an absence or cp sz. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

shez - IMHO, just like Sue said, the neuro would be grateful for what you wrote right here.

I read this yesterday & before Porkette said anything, I thought what she did too. I bet if there are any others responding, they would say that too. Good Luck with everything.
