Hi,
I am looking for any info I can about seizures. I had a seizure and was told it was caused in part to being dehydrated. All tests were normal, EEGs, MRI, exams etc..
But three weeks afterwards I started to have twitches, calves, back, stomach, arms, everywhere, some jerking, mild cramping at times. Most prevalent when I am resting, laying in bed, sitting, they have continued for a month. No weakness, tonight the muscle in my calf felt as though it was being gripped then it twitched a couple of seconds rapidly. The twitches are singular or in succession at times, all over. Is there a possibility that I am experiencing myclonic events...and that they may be in fact a symptom of epilepsy?
I do not notice them when moving, but they are very annoying, especially the calf grip and twitch tonight. I have a slight tremor in my hand and buzzing feeling in my muscles at times as well....I am just looking to see if anyone has had any similar experience after having a seizure, and if you have heard of any thing like this?
Thank you...I really need answers, please
