Severe spasms that look like seizures

[Sugarflowers]

Does ANYONE have bouts of muscle spasms/contractions that look like a grand mal seizure?

My "episodes" start with minor tendon pulls that escalate into full body spasms. I have been told that this issue is not possible with MS. These spasms twist my left arm to the left and dig my nails into my palm. At their worst, I am doing involuntary situps and V-scrunches.

These spasms ate triggered by some medications, paint fumes, cigarette smoke or smell for more than a few minutes, extreme fatigue that includes extreme leg pain.

Has anyone had anything similar to this?

Please help.

Hi Michele,

Have a look at u tube for generalized dystonia and see if this is what you are experiencing.

I have had this twice, both times in hospital and the last time it lasted about 9-10 hours.  It was painful and scary.
