One thing my sis mentioned: there's a lot of different anti-seizure meds out there, and the first one they offer might not be your best long term option. She swears that an old, full day graph of an EEG machine hooked up to you, and a qualified guy to read the results, can more accurately pin point the problem. Don't recall which meds she was offered first, but they're highly prescribed, and didn't work for my sis' situation.

Judas Priest man, any history of this in the family? A grand mal seizure is nasty business O_O I'd stay the hell away from Lunchables, TV dinners or any other highly processed food... forever |: Anti-seizure meds are nasty pills, my sis is on them. Did you feel it coming on before hand?

Well, I have been experiencing muscle spasms for a while now. Nothing huge, just random, uncontrollable jerks lasting for no more than a second most of the time that may occur as often as two times in a few minutes to once a week; it varies. Though I think they've become more frequent as of the past few months leading up to yesterday....
My little sister has been diagnosed with a seizure disorder, but hers is much more milder than the one I suffered from in that it just causes her to space out uncontrollably at random times for 1-2 minutes. She's taking meds, and they don't seem to have any malignant side-effects thankfully, but I reckon meds for stronger seizures are probably a lot worse, anyway. Outside of my sister, I don't recall anyone diagnosed with any seizure disorders or anyone else in my family who's had one.
Thanks for the tip on processed food, though! I've been meaning to say away from them, so I guess this should provide as motivation :P My mother scheduled an appointment with a doctor for an MRI scan, so hopefully we'll all know a little more about what happened soon. It was all pretty messed up, and some parts of my body are still sore. I just hope nothing happens to trigger it again.
