My seizures and auros have come at me with an vengence I feel like I'm at my wits end. My knowing I have emphsema don't help none but I'm triyng to remember that I have a very supportive and lovig spouse and family which makes all the difference in the world but the seizures have a mind of thier own. The feeling of impeding doom is undescribale.

I really don't know what to think or feel but fear. I have however quit smoking. I have gotten info on the internet which is not the best source of info I hope for it always involves a very bad and scary death. The internet and tv both say you have only 4 years to live my hardest question is at this point is how long do I have to live. Would you wnt to know? I'm really terrified it making my seizures so much worse I already feel like I'm waiting for doom with the auros I would appreciate some info on the subject for Patients like me has always helped me in the past thank you all.

It would help if I could see my doctor when my symptoms are at the worst because it is then I need the most help and maybe we can find out the causes of my auras. These are what is most frighting to me.

I can"t seem to get over my anxious feelings I feel as if I"m waiting on something bad to occur. It is hard for family members to understand. I"m not sure if my meds increase these feelings but I have no way to tell.
