I've heard of pseudoseizures, grand mal seizures, petit mal seizures. But never have I heard of what the article describes. But they are always coming up with new things. In a grand mal seizure people lose contenence of urine and clench down on their teeth no more putting something between their teeth, aometimes an aura is seen first flashing of lights can trigger one for instance,and then the jerking twitching etc. Somethimes if they happen too often even with meds they can become uncontrollable. A petit mal seizure may just be a twiching of a certain body part. A pseudoseuzure is difficult to distinguish between a real seizure but a trained physician can tell the differnce. Valium is one drug given IV to stop a full blown seizure. Now the type you're describing are they anything like this at all and are you having them? Love Phillipa
