Where to begin??

[daisy.girl]

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in Jan 2010. I have a long history of severe migraines.

I was telling my neuro about periods of zoning out/blank stare and rubbing my thumbs together. He did a 20-30 min in office EEG that showed spikes in my left parietal lobe.
I also have had many jerks, like when your whole body jumps when your cold, but it happens a lot to me. I have awaken three times at around midnight, confused, thinking it was morning, with my teeth tightly clenched and have bitten my cheeks, and with a bad taste in my mouth.
I had a 72 hour ambulatory EEG that was normal.

Dose this sound like seizures?

This description fits seizures.  How long have you had these episodes?  Before you were diagnosed for MS or after?

What med are you on for MS?  Some of them have a side effect of seizures.  Talk to your doctor about whether or not they think this is the reason for the seizures.  If it is, you may want to try Copazone, which doesn't not have this side effect.

It is possible that you have both epilepsy and MS -- but I think it might be rare.  I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1996, and then MS in 2010.  Because the other meds have seizure side effects, my MS doc put me on Copazone.

Let me know if you have any questions since you might be in a similar situation.
