Seizure or Syncope?
I am from the MS forum and wondered if anyone here could help with a question I have.
I was having bloods taking before a Lumbar Puncture and the nurse burst a vein,whilst working on another vein I passed out. When I came to I was disorientated and had been incontinent,the Nurse said I had been having jerking movements in my arms and she thought it may have been a seizure. I was worn out for the rest of the day. Did not have the LP.
In the past I have passed out and been incontinent. Once there was no apparent reason but that was years ago when I was 18. I am now 30. I don't know If there were any jerking movements on these but will look into it and ask the people who were around at the time. No tongue biting during any.
Brief history: History of Migraine, grew out of them. Currently have brain and spinal lesions and am diagnosed with Clinically isolated Syndrome.
Would appreciate any advice.

Can be convulsive syncope.ask for a tilt table test to confirm if in your research it sounds that this matches you.
Sounds like grand mal seizures. Do some personal research on your history then compare to research on Grand mal seizures. There can be time lapses. Good Luck!
